Would You Like To Buy My Monkeys?

When I was small, I nearly balded my fair-haired neighbor friend while playing Beauty Shop with real scissors. Her mom was livid and had a sort of meltdown. I always thought that mom was kind of an asshole about the whole thing. It was just hair. Hair grows back, for goodness sake. And kids? Well, they do stupid stuff sometimes. No big deal.
Suddenly, I feel compassion for that mother I judged so harshly in my youth. You see, I became the asshole today.
Take a look at Julia’s hair. Notice anything funny?
Here’s a clue.
And some evidence.
Karma is one nasty bitch.

Ooooooh. Aaaaah.
She will look very cute with a bob cut.
And bobs are really fashionable these days! Great look for the warmer weather!!
When I was six I slept with chewing gum in my mouth and it of course fell out and was mashed so thoroughly in my hair that scissors were the only remedy. We’re talking at least 10 inches of hair. A pixie cut. Only 2 inches long in some places. The day before the first grade school photo. To this day that one never got put in a frame and displayed for folks to see!!
Nooooo! I love her gorgeous hair! I am PRAYING that my daughter never does that. I will beat her. But, Julia will look like a gorgeous little french girl with her hair in a bob with that thick hair and those bangs. It’ll be cute. *sob sob*
Yep, this summer will always be remembered as the summer of the bob. You’ll see pictures of her bob, and you’ll remember this time fondly. I have pictures of Zoe in pink cowgirls boots (she wore them everyday for a year), and I’ll always know that the pink cowgirl boots year was the year she was 4.
Bobs ARE cute. I think Julia will look adorable no matter what. But this is why, despite her teacher’s comments about how well Ironflower does with scissors, I’ve kept the scissors hidden.
Jerseygirl - She didn’t do it with scissors. She did it with toe nail clippers!!!
You have to read that June B Jones story to Julia when she get a little older. I forget the exact name, but let’s just say it echoes your story! Pinky, haircutt, beautician are all keywords! I love Bobs… my son has one right now, due to a very bad haircut at the barber shop.
I’m sorry, but that’s way too funny. And nail clippers? Did she say why? BTW… I awarded you a little something today.
Hey-its layered! Nice job Julia! Bobs are good too, she is SO cute! I love the bangs.
Hi, I’m inviting you to list your blog on the mom blog directory and to check out fab contests on my site as well. Thank you!:)

Eep.
My son did the same thing when he was 4. He used his Crayola scissors…..they cut more than paper apparently.
At least Julia didn’t cut her bangs off. Kids tend to go straight for the bangs.
I can’t believe she used nail clippers! You must have some damn sharp clippers!
Hmm, nail clippers. Clever girl.
Oh my. The neighbor girl cut Braden’s hair once. It wouldn’t have been so bad except she cut his cowlick so short that it, well did what cowlicks tend to do and stood straight up until it grew enough to bend over proper.
Julia’s still cute as a button but DUDE! Your ankles! I think I had those very same ankles when pregnant with B.. Glad the end is in sight for you.
Listen, do not make me come up there with fists full of cash to pay you for the you know whats… I’m still waiting for a bill. I sent you a long letter gushing about how I gushed when I opened them, told the fasting plan to f’ off and ATE ONE!! And I even sent you a picture of me loving on them… pony up the bill so I can pony up the dough!!
Be glad Julia wasn’t bald on one half of her head!
This is too funny…but what made it even funnier was reading the comments and then your response about it being nail clippers!! She is so smart!! But bobs are cute now…my girls all got their hair cuts recently.
One of my daycare kids cut her hair while in my care. I know from experience that EVERY little girl cuts her hair or someone elses hair. The mom however did not know this and completely freaked out.
I should be happy that the only thing my daughter has clipped with her nail clippers is the bristles on her toothbrush.
[…] Julia has been a living, breathing, hair-cutting contradiction, lately. One moment, I’m “the best mommy in the whole wide world,” and the next, my kisses make her feel “really mad.” Right after yelling at me for looking at her too much, she’ll crawl up in my lap and get in my face to prevent me from speaking to any human being in the world other than her. Sometimes she wants to be called a big girl and sometimes she wants to be my baby; figuring out which time it is feels a lot like walking blindfolded and barefoot into a room filled with mouse traps.
