"My Dandelion Haircut!"

"Mom.......... what have you done!" I screamed so loud that my voice was heard from every corner of the house. Wait............. sorry let me take you back to the starting of this dramatic comedy episode of my life. I was only three years of age at that time and now I can still visualize this scene playing like a broken record in my head over and over again.
My family and I had just moved from India to New Jersey and the whole environment was a total change. In the first couple of months of our settling into the house my parents weren't familiar with the stores and places. Whoever knows me they know that my hair is long and very thick. So coming more to the point my hair was over growing and my mom didn't know a good hair dresser.

So........... anyway, one fine day when my dad went to office and my mom took an off from her office because I was sick, she decided since she had the time she will "trim," my hair. First, my mom started cutting one side of my hair, then the other side. After, that she measured both sides and she saw that both weren't even, so like that my mom kept cutting my hair. Until one point where their was no more hair to cut on one side, then she figured that she will just repeat the same on the other side. My mom is very well educated and she is a computer engineer, however she is not a well hair cutter at all.
After she was finished with her beautiful design on my hair, I looked like dandelion. Meaning, when one blows a dandelion have of it's white strings stay and the other fly away. Similarly, my hair was half long, one third bald, and the other part short like a boy's hair. When my dad came home he was in shock to what happened to my hair and we all had a great laugh. Even though, at that time I was upset at my mom when I look back at this moment and all the pictures that captured the moment I laugh at my self and I will always remember this historical moment forever.
