When I was a young girl our family would be found at my grandparent’s home on Indian Creek almost every Sunday afternoon. On one particular Sunday, Uncle Bud and Aunt Willie White were also there along with Uncle Bob and Aunt Bertha White, Uncle Charlie and Aunt Grace White, and Uncle Claude White, who was not married.
Mama decided all at once that I needed a haircut. I thought, oh…here we go again; another bowl haircut. I started crying before Mama could get a comb and scissors. As she got closer to me, I cried even louder.
Aunt Willie said, “Lillie, you should cut her hair some other time. See how upset she is?”  I cried even louder.
Mama took me by the arm and placed me in a chair while I was trying to pull away. Aunt Willie came to my rescue again, asking Mama to wait until later. To this, Mama said, “I’ll cut her hair if I have to beat her to death.”
Of course, she didn’t mean what she said.  It was just her expression. But not knowing for sure at the time, I sat as still as I could while wiping tears and sniffling as Mama gave me the usual bowl haircut.
