.....or how about the kids who are just sick and tired of the publicity? The kids who haven't had their conscience-ness raised by meddling adults and while they may understand the act, are now lost in the miasma of adult speak or, to put it another way, adult speak out both sides of their mouths. In all this is lost the unfortunate story of a little girl who became ill and is gaining nothing, save embarrassment (remember when you were that age? How easily embarrassed you were?) And what's next in this weary saga of follicle redemption? Photos of the well child keeping her head peeled until her friend can grow hers back? And, how could I forget this, the follow up that shows both little girls with newly sprouted hair, then, in a year or so, them in their adorable Pixie cuts that weren't cuts at all.
These children have been sacrificed to the media for no purpose other than to raise a furor in lieu of a good deed. It's impossible to believe that a little girl could shave her head so completely without help; I say that based on having shaved my own head for years and, particularly in the back, have often wished I had someone to clean up the bits and swatches that I missed.
