It's Mine, All Mine
I'm telling you, I'm not meant to live in Michigan. Mark discovered something horrifying. There is apparently a law in Michigan that states that a man owns his wife's hair, or rather, that she cannot cut her hair without her husband's permission. Since Mark claims he was nearly brought to tears when I cut 24" of hair off after my return from Chile, he is now pondering marrying me expressly for the purpose of legally preventing me from cutting it ever again. In turn, I threatened to buzz my head and go butch, just to make a point. I nicely offered to give him the hair after I cut it all off.
