did you get a haircut?

The other day I was about to start class, and a girl on the front row blurted out, "Did you get a haircut?"

I answered, "No." She looked disappointed and confused. I added, "Well, I did cut my own hair, if that counts as a haircut."

She made the noise of understanding (a long 'Ohhhhhhh' that starts high and ends low). Then she turned to her friend and whispered, and I think this is what she said: "I thought maybe it just looked like he got a haircut but in reality he was just more bald."
