A foot or a foot

Hope has to get a haircut before Aunt Jennifer's wedding next weekend. So we were discussing it, and as I always do when teasing her about her "long, bootiful hair" I told her we should chop it off and admiring how long it has gotten held it up to chin length and jokingly said we would only take a foot off. Hope looked at me with those big eyes now the size of saucers with this disgusted look on her face. "Please don't cut off my foot!" as she grabbed her little foot in her hand and held it tight!
