“My favorite haircut I’ve ever had was when I was nine. It was a mushroom cut, so a shaggy bowl cut with the undersides shaved. I remember explaining to Nicole Scarzella why it was called a mushroom cut. She kept saying it reminded her of a jellyfish. I’d just been stung by a jellyfish the previous summer so I wasn’t really into her comparison but I didn’t hold it against her. She was my first crush. I tried to hold her hand once. She smiled and squirmed. I ran off in a panic of excitement and embarrassment, my mushroom cut flopping in the wind.”
