SELF PORTRAIT

This is what happens when you let a would be second grader get hold of your camera and she is bored riding in the car.

MAIN JAPANESE BUFFET

After this morning's incident, I thought that it would be nice to take her out to lunch. Mimi really likes the Main Japanese Buffet because she can eat anything she wants and as much as she wants. I like it because I can get 2 meals for $16.00.

ANOTHER EPISODE OF HAIR DISASTER

As we were getting ready to go to the center for swim lessons, all I told the girl to do was comb her hair. A few minutes later she came and tapped me saying "mom, I "accidently" got my hair stuck in the comb" Somehow the child managed to get it all twisted around. I could not for the life of me get it to come out. So I said that we will have to go see Mai to which the girl yelled "Noooooo!!!" and took off running and locked herself in the bathroom. I was able to get her out of the bathroom but she did not want to go to Mai's place. We still could not manage the hair. Then the girl says "Wait! I have an idea!" Uh oh, I thought to myself. Less than a second later, Mimi had cut the hair loose with a pair of scissors. No sooner than she cut her hair and saw what she had done, did the big crocadile tears come rolling down her cheeks "I didn't mean for that to happen!" the girl cried and cried. Fortunately the cut was not half as bad as the last time but none the less she has what my dad used to call "A Rooster Tail" There is no hole, but there is a very small patch of hair standing straight up. I was able to talk her into going to the beauty shop for Mai to work her wonders. As usual, Mai and Ti lavished Mimi with so much love and kindness and salvage the damage. Unless one looks real close, you can't even see where the girl had cut her hair. Needless to say, we missed the swimming lesson today.
