Question

One thing that Elizabeth dreaded was getting a haircut. In truth, Elizabeth didn't even like washing or combing her hair--much less getting it cut. It wasn't that Elizabeth didn't want to look good; she just didn't like stopping playing with her neighborhood friends after school every day to take time to go get her hair fixed. But Elizabeth's mother was insistent. "I know you want to play," said her mom, "but it's important to also look your best every day for school." Sighing, Elizabeth stopped kicking her soccer ball and headed toward her mom's car.
