[blparent] Long Hair

[Allie]

Having long hair is a pain in the derriere sometimes.  One day I 
went into the shower with a plastic bag over my head, so my hair 
wouldn't get wet.  It was in the morning when I was pressed for 
time and needed to take a quick shower.  My hair is the thing 
that takes me the longest to wash.  Grrr.  Don't even get me 
started on brushing it ...  Sigh.
Yet, I want Gabbie to have nice long hair, too.  How is that 
different? LOL.
