Sideways Stories from Wayside School by Louis Sachar.
 Leslie sat in front of Paul.  She had two long, brown pigtails that reached all the way down to her waist.  Paul saw those pigtails, and a terrible urge came over him.  He wanted to pull a pigtail.  He wanted to wrap his fist around it, feel the hair between his fingers, and just yank.  He thought it would be fun to tie the pigtails together, or better yet, tie them to her chair.  But most of all, he just wanted to pull one.
