The bad, but not horrible haircut

It was the summer of 2006, when baseball season was about to start. The days were long and hot. My hair was way too long, hot and messy. My hair was so long that my baseball hat was too tight. I knew that I needed to get a haircut. I wanted it to be a #2 buzz cut. I always got a #2 and I knew I liked a #2. That’s what I told the hair dresser, a #2 buzz cut. She agreed. I didn’t pay attention to my haircut. I started daydreaming with the sound of buzzing in my ears. Soon my haircut was done. I looked in the mirror in horror. My hair was gone. I only had a millimeter of hair left. I asked the hair dresser what happened. She said that she gave me a #1 buzz like I had asked. I argued that I said #2. I always got a #2. When I went back to my family who was waiting for me, they all laughed. My dad, who is bald, said now I look like him. It was the worst haircut of my life, or so I thought. For the next 4 weeks my head never got that sweaty and I could put on my baseball helmet much easier.

Excitedly I walked through the door, showing off my new haircut. After my cousin Ajay complemented my hair, he showed me his new toy, Silly Putty. We tossed it to each other, back and forth. Then Ajay accidentally threw the Silly Putty into my hair. It looked funny, so we spread it all over my bangs (I was only 3 years old). My hair became all blue and gooey. After we started getting bore of playing with the Silly Putty, we tried to pull it out of my hair. Then, Ajay found a pair of scissors and I decided that I would have to cut some of my hair to get rid of the Silly Putty. Divya saw me and Ajay cut my hair and then rushed to go and tell my mom. If only I knew that this little mess would only turn into a bigger one. My mom and grandma screamed loudly, while Ajay and I giggled. I received and big lecture from my parents on how I should never cut my hair without informing them. My mom took me to the salon (again) and I got my hair re-cut. I learnt my lesson; Silly Putty was a stupid toy.

The HaircutThat day, I was amazed at what a terrible and frightening haircut that I got.I was taking brush from the storm last night with my dad to the fire pit. As I was walking I heard a “CRACK!” A tree branch was falling on me, and I put my hands on my head. The branch got caught in the tree, but I could not get my hands off my head. I tore off chunks of hair freeing my hands. My dad told me that I needed a haircut. My dad took me to a new place called “Great Clips.” As we entered, the stylists were chatting away, and not paying any attention towards the customer. The small rectangular room was cluttered with hair remnants, combs, magazines, and other miscellaneous tools. I was nervous about my haircut because, I thought that they didn’t care about the customers. After 45 minutes, it was finally my turn. The lady who was cutting my hair was using a clipper that seemed like it was fifty years old. The clipper would pull my hair more than cut it, and the pain was unbearable. When she was cutting my hair, she would dump water all over my head, and would cut my skin around my ears and my neck. After twenty minutes of torture, I was freed. The price for my haircut was forty dollars and my dad was outraged. We persuaded them twenty dollars and agreed. When I came home, my mom hated my haircut, so we went to another place.

CAPTAIN AWESOME!!!

Ridiculously big waves stood waited for me, mocking me. Before I ran into the water I pondered weather it was smart to just go stand under a humongous wave. Because I was young it didn’t take me long to ponder I just ran in. The first wave was on its way, but I stood my ground against the all mighty liquid. Twirling me around, throwing me against the sand, gasping for air. After it was over I realized that the wave was not found of me in fact it just liked to hurt me. Once I had this epiphany it was time to go to the FUN ZON!!! At this "fun zone" there was ice cream, games and most of all in the middle for seven dollars there was this special bouncy trampoline. On this trampoline the instructor locked me into this harness and attached ropes on to me. The harness kept me from dieing and the ropes flung me in the air. I got twenty feet in the air about thirty times. After we got back from the fun zone we started to relax. We started watching Americas national eating contest. While the final two men were eating one of them through up. The technical terms for this in the national eating competition is "Spray Zone." All the people in the front row were covered in chewed up half digested hot dogs. It was an amazing day!

About two years ago my family and I went to Hawaii. I was really excited but the plane ride was 18 hours long. I thought I was going to die. And a few days before the planes just decided to stop serving food so we had to bring our own. I was really tired but I only slept for an hour. When we got there I was really glad. When we got off the plane we were given leis and it was really cool. During our trip we rode on an outrigger and went snuba diving. I can’t wait to go back.

Every year we take a family trip to Colorado. The ride gets very boring when we drive through Nebraska. Since we have a T.V. in our car it isn’t that boring. Sometimes on the way their we stop at a water park to spend the night. When we don’t stop we drive through and when we get to Copper Mountain we have to Wight until we can get a room. We go to this really big gift shop and we all get $50 to but something because my dad is already paying for the trip. One year at Copper I was talking to my friends on the side of the mountain when this person comes and hits my and I flew into the forest. The good thing is that I didn’t get hurt.

“finally, I get to go to the cottage with my favorite cousin.” Here my mom Mandi and I are almost at the cottage up north. Waiting for us there is grandma and grandpa and as we pulled up the drive way with grandma and grandpa, Joey was waiting outside for us. We gave grandma and grandpa hugs especially grandpa because he just had surgery on his heart up in Florida and were so happy he was ok. We started to unload our things. Me and my cousin went fishing and swimming right away down at the lake, and we had the time of our lives. until my sister came. We were fishing on the boat with only 2 seats. She said she wanted to go on the boat, but we said no we were here first. then we started to paddle to the middle of the lake. Amazingly, Mandi starts chucking rocks at us. since I was six, I chucked them back.
Soon rocks from the shore and from the lake were being chucked, then Joey came and seeing how serious Joey is would try to hit Mandi I was just fooling around till Joey chucked one so hard, and hit her square on the nose ouch! We knew we were in big trouble when Mandi went to my grandma but grandma wouldn’t ever tell our side of the story. Then Joey and I had to sit next to my grandpa in his chair. I hated Mandi and she hated me so she told my grandma and mom if she could go golfing and rub it in my face that I couldn’t go. So as mom Mandi and grandma started to get ready in the car grandpa said “go on” then I said “what” I thought is he serious? I didn’t ask questions.
Then me and Joey ran outside and they were starting to go then we jumped in the truck. They didn’t even know we hopped in and when we landed we were on a bag of cloths because grandma doesn’t have a washing machine and she was going to stop at the laundry mat. I had my twenty dollars in my pocket that I saved up. I knew that after this was done we were going to get in big trouble, but least we would have fun since that was the whole reason we came up here was to just have fun. It was bumpy on the road back here me and Joey just looked up and watched the clouds go by. After a fifteen minute drive we hopped out of the back of the truck. Before they all got out and we said we wanted to golf. They were so amazed how we got back there with them noticing. Then said “fine but you have to pay.” And so I did me and my cousin played alone but we thought it wasn’t as fun because we wanted to play with the whole family. We asked if we could play but grandma said we can play on only one condition if we bought them shakes at dg next to the golf coarse and so I did and I couldn’t have wished for a better summer.
