at least its in line with your natural crown, you can shave it all the way around and look like a jarhead for a week. mine was right at the top of the head when i did it, i had little options available. id say just shave it down and tell her the story. i made the mistake of wearing a hat to work after i did it, and since i never wear hats to work everyone seemed to notice it and gave me shit for a week. i use a 1/4" attachment now from that, i used to use a 3/8" when i dipped the chunk out of it. if you know the girl that well she will laff a bit but wont probably care that much. and if it works out, it will be a story she tells your kidlings. my ex wife told stories about when i met her for years.
