I am officially living some horrible hair nightmare.
Because just as I am recovering from Sage’s traumatizing haircut (me being the traumatized one), my mother greets me today with the line, Don’t kill me…
And as we all know, no good can come of a conversation starting with Don’t kill me but…
Indeed, she decided that even after Thalia’s own pretty lame haircut Friday, that Thalia still needed her bangs trimmed. Just a little bit more. Just enough to get them out of her eyes.
And so my mother took it upon herself to…
to…
I can’t even say it.
Inside, I scream.
62 shards of brilliance… read them below or add one
My four year old became obsessed with cutting her own hair from age 1 to age 3.5, when she chopped it so severely that we had to shave her head and start over. She looked like an Auschwits refugee for six months. Why didn't I just hide/lock away/throw away the scissors? I did. She would find them, and lightening quick, chop away until she was discovered, usually in a matter of seconds. Why are hair issues so painful?
one day it will be funny. perhaps today is not the day.
she's still stinkin' cute.
i would definitely make my mom buy me something major.
With that face, she could get away with a lot, including a Bay City Rollers haircut.
I assume that the “Don't kill me” was just a request and is not legally binding or anything, right?
Oh jeez. At least they're young.
Haha! Thank you- I needed a laugh. Poor baby, but she is still beautiful.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
I am so glad I am not the only mom suffering from child's hair guilt.
Lessons learned:
1. It will (eventually) grow back
2. Kids can't help but look precious- especially your adorable little gals!
3. She is probably too young to give a damn and it is hurting you way more than her.
Thanks for making me laugh. Again. As usual.
I totallyl feel ya on this one.
You've seen Reagan's hair. You told me to dread it, after all. My mother did the same thing- she cut bangs while I was away and she was watching her. “I just had to get it out of her eyes! It was making ME crazy!” Making HER crazy. Ugh.
You DON'T just cut curly hair straight across. She looks insane now.
I'll have to make a mental note to keep the scissors away from my mom. LOL.
I feel your pain too. My son has done that as well… Of course it was the day before his class picture in kindergarten.
Gosh, she's growing up so fast. I remember you writing about the pregnancy. And she's now no longer a baby!
(To clarify since I am a sleep deprived dork today.) I remember you writing about Sage's pregnancy as well as the early days with Thalia.
My mom and MIL know not to get near my wiggly son with a scissors. He can't sit still and they'd probably poke an eye out. But “the boy” spent kindergarten trying to cut his bangs. No idea why. But after the first two tries I started hiding the craft scissors.
