On-screen text
Where my husband finds me at 9 PM...
Me: "hi"
Him: "So we're cuttin' this evening I see"
Me: "Yeahhh"
Me: "Let's see how much do I cut off this side?"
Him: "you already cut the other side?"
Me: "yeah"
Him: "are you doing your face framing as well?"
Me: "yeah"
*laughs*
Him: "are you sure you want to do that all tonight?"
Him: "is that even?"
Me: "is that even?"
Me: "does this side look longer still?"
Him: "we're just in a hair cutting mood I guess"
Me: "i guess"
(because I had cut his hair the day before)
*checking in 20 mins later*
Him: "she's doing it"
Him: "alright... watched enough videos?"
Me: "yeah"
Me: "that's a lot of hair!"
Him: "oh my gosh"
he thought I chopped off the back of my hair and that this was all I had left
Me: "you think I chopped the back of my hair off?"
Him: "YEAH I was scared for a sec"
Him: "that was scary"
*came to check in once again*
*joking with him I chopped my hair into a bob and he believed me*
Him: "you did?"
*reminding him what a bob is*
Him: "oh yess... a tiny..."
Him: "a lot of hair gone"
Him: "love you!"
