"Before you go into the rolling clouds, walk thru anymore, I have to tell you I really thought you were just telling me I could not cut my hair. I believe i had been seeing you awhile, not very long though, I'm not sure 6 or 7 maybe, however my mom told you I had cut my bangs at-home by myself. You said well they would have been ok if they had been wet. But don't touch your hair with the scissors again. "Come up here and I will do whatever you want to it" "But it would have been fine wet." Idk if you were saying it or not, I'm sure you know what I thought you were saying really. I thought I had wet them too. I love you. Always a very wise woman."
