I really understood them so I went back to the not stylin, but humerous Hulgrid.

When I was about 5 years old, I somehow climbed up and got the hair cutting scissors out of the bathroom cupboard. I had long hair, and must have tried to cut my bangs or something, I guess. My mama says I walked out of the bathroom and my hair on one side at the top looked like the Last of the Mohicans. I had cut a huge chunk off from the top, and it lay on the bathroom floor where it could not be glued back on. My mother cried, and I had to have my hair cut short all over to match! Now I am 9, and I do not cut my own hair.
Lily, 9
No, I like the way I am. I wouldn't do anything to change my looks. It's what matters on the inside and not the outside.
