Saturday, August 21, 2004 Laura Ingalls Wilder cut her own bangs
Ma and Pa made fun of her, and called bangs "the lunatic fringe." Years later, it occurred to me that this was supposed to be a joke, and I was appalled. According to the book series, Ma always wore her hair in "soft wings, down over her ears." I'm not done being appalled.
Since I've started this new job, I rarely meet people who cut their own bangs, although on the subject of soft wings, a couple was given special permission to park their car in the lot near the salon. They had to keep the airconditioner going, they said, and to keep an eye on the car, because they had found an injured bird.
