I once shaved off my left eyebrow

...oops
In fourth grade, I was told that my eyebrows were "bushy."  So while I was taking a bath with my sister, I thought it would be a good opportunity to thin it out by using my dad's razor.  But, stupidly enough, I ended up shaving off my whole eyebrow.  I remember looking at the mirror, standing butt naked on top of the sink, horrified at my result: a pathetic white patch hanging out between my forehead and eyes.  I realized why God created eyebrows.

I looked at my sister who was enjoying the bath bubbles and had no idea of my panic mode. Then a sudden thought came into my head.
I said, "...Sarah~ I'll make you look beautiful!  Come here~~~"
The five-year-old stopped playing with the bubbles, smiled brightly and said, "Okay!"

I shaved off her left eyebrow, too.

We were two little girls inside a cramped bubble bath with our left eyebrows no where to be seen.

What happened in the end?  I got a pretty bad spanking.  Every morning before school, my sister and I had to stand in line for mom to draw fake left eyebrows with her eyeliner.

Children are so weird.
