Tolsty
My daughter will not date until she’s thirty. And she will have her head shaved every week by her mother. My wife and me settled on these rules before she was even born. I am a doting mother and don’t want the boys or girls chasing after her til she is grown.
We didn’t shave her at birth, of course, but before she left for daycare, my wife would sit her in her lap, wrap a towel around her tiny body, and run the electric clippers over her scalp til all was super short stubble.It was a ritual, our family’s routine, and we taught her to love herself despite her lack of tresses.We knew that she was perfect just the way she was.
Years went on, she grew up bald and jealous of the other girls who had long hair down to their knees. She might’ve had no hair but that didn’t stop her from styling others.
