The Haircut

	Oh boy is my mommy mad at me.  I hate it when she’s mad at me, but I guess she has the right to be.  I cut my hair.  I guess I should elaborate a little.  I didn’t cut my hair, I was the customer.  My friend Jordyn cut my hair.  She was the beautician.  Jordyn Sanders is a friend of mine from school.  I was out on the playground with Lizzie, and we saw this girl playing by herself and we had a jumprope.  Well you need 3 people to jumprope just right, so Lizzie went up to her and asked her if she wanted to jumprope with us.  She said sure.  Her name is Jordyn and she’s in the other kindergarten class.  She said that she isn’t having any fun in school because there is nobody to play with.  I told her that from now on, whenever we go outside to play, we’ll play together.  She said that she would like that very much.  COOL……now I have 2 friends instead of one. I like kindergarten, you get to meet some cool people here.        Jordyn said that she just moved here with her mommy and daddy.  But she said that she doesn’t see her daddy all that often because he is in the army.  She doesn’t know what he does in the army, but he must be good because he is never at home.  Her mommy though is home all of the time.  She is a beautician, and has this salon in the basement of her house.  It has a place where you can wash just your head in the sink, and a place to sit that has this big dryer over the top of your head.  She also has this other room that has this thing in it that Jordyn says is a tanning bed in it.  She says that you lay down in it and get tan from top to bottom, but if you stay in it too long you can get burned.  I don’t think I want to get burned, so I think I’ll stay out of there for now.       Jordyn has a brother and a sister too.  Her brothers’ name is Brian and he’s 16.  He has his own car which is a 1967 Dodge Charger.  Its almost like the one they used in the old show the Dukes of Hazzard except that instead of being orange, its black.  Its cool looking.  He gives us rides in it.  Like last week when I got to go home with Jordyn cause my mommy called her mommy and said that she was still stuck in a meeting and couldn’t get ahold of Regina, Brian came and picked us up in his car.  After that we got to go out for ice cream and play video games with him in his room.  His room is the perfect place to hang out.  It has this big huge TV in it and a bunch of video games in it.  Whenever I get to go to Jordyn’s house we get to go into Brians room and play video games, but only if he’s there.  If he isn’t there we don’t dare go in there because he said if we ever did, he wouldn’t take us for rides in his car, and we wouldn’t want that to happen.     Jordyn’s sisters name is Amy.  She’s 13.  She’s not at all like Brian or Jordyn.  Amy’s weird.  She is pale white and has really black hair.  The first time I saw her, I about screamed.  Jordyn and I were in her room playing with her teddy bears having a tea party (no tea, just water, but Brian did let us have all the cookies we wanted) and Amy came into the room and said “If you and you’re little friend want to live, you had better stay out of my room.”  I didn’t know what to do.  Who’s that I asked.  Jordyn said “That’s Amy”. “Who’s Amy?”  “Amy is my big sister.  She’s Gothic and weird,  I don’t like her”.  “Me either”  I said.  I sure would hate to get on Amy’s bad side.  So I think I’ll just stay out of her room.     Jordyn also has a doggie named Princess, and a kitty cat named Ginger.  Princess is a big pretty golden retriever dog who likes to come into the house even though she is not supposed to, and sleeps with Jordyn.  Luckily her mom doesn’t get too mad about it since Princess picked Jordyn.  According to Jordyn, they had all gone out to the dog pound to get a new doggie cause there other doggie, Prince, ran away.  Well the nice lady at the pound said that she had just gotten these puppies in and would they want to see them.  Jordyns mommy said sure, well they went back there and when the lady opened the door, one of the puppies came right up to Jordyn and start licking her face.  Jordyn’s mommy knew right then and there that this puppy was hers and Jordyn go to name the puppy.  She said that since it was a girl, and had pretty princess hair, her name was going to be princess.  So princess went home with Jordyn, Brian and Amy.     Jordyn also had a kitty cat called Ginger.  Ginger is an orange and white cat who doesn’t really care about anything.  Like the time Jordyn and I took Ginger outside to play.  Amy told us that if cats fell from high places they would always land on their feet.  Guess what?  She’s wrong.  We know, we tried it.  Jordyn and I went outside to her treehouse and were playing dress up with Ginger when Jordyn said that we should try to see if Amy was right.  I told her I didn’t think we should because it just didn’t seem right.  But we have to see if Amy is right?  I don’t think she is and you don’t think so either do you?  Nope.  So lets try it.  Ok I told her and we let Ginger play superman and fly out the window.  Well Ginger didn’t quite land on her feet.  And she wasn’t walking too well when Jordyn’s mommy got home, so she took her to the vet who told her that she thinks someone might have dropped her from a high place.  Well when Jordyns mommy got home poor Ginger was in a cast for her broken leg, and asked us if we knew anything about her being dropped from a high place.  We didn’t want Jordyn’s mommy mad at us cause then we couldn’t play together anymore, so we told her the truth.  She said that #1 what we did was very wrong, and #2, never to believe anything that Amy ever says.  She said that if we ever have any questions about anything we should or shouldn’t do we should go ask Brian.  Apparently Jordyn’s mom trusts Brian and not Amy.  My mommy came and got me after that.
