Mullet!

On Sunday morning my boyfriend's brother brought over my boyfriend's 4 year-old daughter and 3 year-old son after they'd been staying overnight at their grandad's (we usually have them on Saturday nights, but we had to go to an awards ceremony last week and it didn't end until very late).

I guess the long fringe must have bothered her after all!    How did she feel about it when everyone was mad about her hairdressing attempt?

I never cut my hair when I was a really little kid, but I started cutting my own when I was 12.  I didn't mess it up the first time, but I did mess it up the second and had to go to the hairdressers for them to fix it (still 12, had a short cut back then).  I did a better job of it after that and didn't go back.

That's good work; I would never dare to cut my own hair!

Wow.    I guess the moral of the story is to keep supervise the very young when they're playing with scissors.

I guess we should be relieved that of all the stuff in the medicine cabinet at Papa's the only thing she 'played' with was the - pretty blunt - nail scissors.  If she'd popped a pill or something we mightn't be laughing now.  At least this has prompted Papa to get one of his son's (my boyfriend's little bro) to put a lock on the cabinet.  Although I don't think the kids' mother will let them stay at his place again for a while anyway.

I did exactly the same thing as the little girl mentioned in the first post... only I was not 4, but 14. Oh, it was terrible. 

I cut a chunk of my hair when I was like 4. I don't even know why I did it. I was in the bathroom with one of my sisters, who is a year younger than me. I don't even know how we got a hold of some scissors. I grabed a chunk of hair from the front and just snipped it off. Then my sister did the same thing. My mother freaked when she saw us, but she recovered quickly, and told us how we would have to live with the consecuences of our hair cut until it grew out. Needles to say, we never did it again.

If it makes you feel better when I was in kindergarten I told my mom I would cut off the bad parts and needless to say it turned out HORRIBLE!!!! Hair grows back though.

LOL! what do mean you would cut off the bad parts? And your mom actually let you do it? What parts did you end up cutting off? OMG, every time I think about the crazy things you can come up with as a kid, I freak out and run in to check on my nieces and nephews. As a matter of fact, let me go do that right now!

My mom didn't hear me and I referred to the bad parts as thee semi-existent split ends. my mom was not to happy.

LOL, I bet she wasn't. Well at least your bad cut was at the ends and not at the frontal hairline like mine.  I ended up with a huge bald spot right in front where everyone could see. It was not fun, but I still laught about it though. Yeah! that's the stuff childhood memories are made off.

I cut my bangs once and it was so weird. like those fuzzy kinds

OMG! I know what you're talking about. My mom actually decided to give me bangs one time. And yes, she decided to do it herself. My mom is an interior decorator, who before that, was a lab technician. Where in the world did she get the idea that that background would qualify her to cut hair, I don't know. Well she ended up giving me these huge bangs that sort of came down from the middle of my head and opened up to form like a triangle. If that makes any sense. So you can imagine what would happened when I would go to school and play a little under the hot sun and humid climate of the Dominican Republic, which is where I grew up.

 haha~my daughter did the same thing when she was 3. She always sees me cut my own hair and I guess she wanted to cut hers. At first I thought she had gotten into my hair gel and just "SLICKED"her hair back,but at a closer inspection,she had BUZZED her bangs completely to the scalp! The sides were also cut horribly uneven. I tried to cut it myself,but even cutting in a bob like fashion up to her ears,it was still uneven with no bangs!!!

LOL! this is so funny, we just found a spot on my 3 year old nephew's hair that was scissor cut, I believe by my 7 year old nephew. We are not sure because he will not comfess, and my other nephew and 2 nieces won't give each other up for nothing LOL! They will all go down before they tell on each other. I guess is nice that they are tight! LOL. Thank God is not that noticible and my sister buzzes his hair anyway, so it will be gone by his next haircut.

Both of my daughters have cut their own hair. My oldest cut her hair about about age 4.  Luckily, her hair was put up at the time so when I took the rubber band out, you could cover the really short chunk pretty well .On the down side, I couldn't put her hair up for a long time. My younger daughter cut a big chunk of hair as well, but it grew out pretty fast and I didn't nearly cry like I did the first time with my older daughter. I cut my hair myself alot over the past year. Needless to say, it looked like crap and it was too short all year due to me trying to constantly "fix" the bad haircut. I finally sucked it up and went to a good hairdresser who completely fixed the mess I made and I was able to leave my hair alone and finally it is growing out, alot!
