Poor Old Lady Cuts Her Gorgeous Hair to Buy Her Husband a Gift and It Upsets Him — Story of the Day
Agnes chopped off her waist-length hair to buy her husband Jim a Christmas present. In an exciting turn of events, Jim had planned something similar for her, but what began as a loving present for the beloved better halves turned out to be something hilarious.
Agnes and Jim were happily married for 60 years, even though God never blessed them with kids. In their younger days, the couple used to stay in Florida, where Jim worked as a school teacher, but a fire engulfed their home a few years after Jim retired, and they had to relocate to the countryside.

So on Christmas morning, she decided to cut her hair for money. She’d discussed the matter with a friend who had suggested an online site where she could sell her hair.

Jim had always admired how beautiful his wife looked with her hair down, and Agnes adored her hair as well, but she was only thinking about Jim’s present when she decided to go ahead with the idea. And within a few hours, her lovely brown hair which hung close to her waist was cut to a short bob.
When Christmas Eve arrived, Agnes dressed up in a pretty gown, planned a lovely candlelight dinner for the two of them, and was ready to meet her husband, who was returning from town after buying their Christmas tree.
