Shawn, you ASTOUND me!

I've done it again.

A small flash of pure genius

that just tickles me to no end.

Cutting bangs has always been a bit tricksy;

you just have to trim off 1/4 - 1/3 of an inch

but the kid is all worried about getting hair in their eyes.

And to be fair

said kid usually does get hair in their eyes

because they didn't listen to Momma,

"Just keep your eyes shut."

I have masking taped 1 ply of t.p. to the forehead

and that method works decently

at keeping all those short pokey hairs out

but drawing on eyebrows in exactly the right spot is a challenge.

Today

I taped a sandwich bag to Lily's forehead

and it worked beautifully!
She could still see,

so she didn't have the frustration of being blinded by the toilet paper

and I could see right where I needed to cut

and not one trimmed hair came near her eyes!

It would have been really perfect

if I'd have had her stand over the trash can;

the hair would've just slid right off the bag into the trash!

*It goes without saying, but if you try this,

careful of plastic by the nose and mouth. yada yada yada*
