Will I survive???

Here's a conversation I had with my parents this morning via video conferencing:

Mom: Oh, you didn't get a haircut.
Me: Nope.
Dad: Well, you can get one when you get to Shanghai.
Me: Uh.. no, I don't think so.
Mom: But your hair's too long.
Me: I like it long.
Mom: It doesn't look good long.
Me: uh... Thanks, Mom.
Dad: Why do you want your hair long?
Me: Cuz I want it long. I'm growing it out.
Mom and Dad grumbled something inaudible, then decided that I'm growing my hair out because Eric must like long, therefore, I have no opinion of my own, and will grow my hair out according to my husband's wishes.

I let it go.

A minute later, Alex walks in.
Mom: Did Alex get a haircut?
Me: Yes, he just had it cut couple of days ago.
Mom: It's too short!
Me: No it isn't.
Mom: The front is too short.

I give up. It's gonna be a looong 3 months. What the hell was I thinking?!

Well, wish me luck. Anyone got any vallium?
