"Honey?"
"I did something."
"What did you do? ... Maddy?"
She pulled the towel off and stood there quiver-lipped for a second. She'd cut her own hair, pretty short, right in the front, right in the middle. Just before she burst into tears, she yelled, "I'm ugly!" and ran into the bathroom. Lacey went through an initial rotation of responses before landing on the one that basically goes, "Well, now what should we do?"
"We could try headbands," Maddy said, clearly having given the matter some thought. So they tried some, and -- long story short -- they didn't help much.
During that bathroom interlude between Maddy and Lacey, Mason had gone upstairs. When he returned, he'd done the same damn thing to his own hair. Lacey said, "Mason! Why did you DO that?"
"I didn't want Maddy to be the only ugly one."
Aaaaawwwww.

That little Maddy's going to have to work a lot harder than that to be ugly.
They should toast their new look with lithium. That would cap off the whole This-house-resembles-a-mental-ward thing.
