Lumpy cut her own hair

[eenie114]

Miss Lumpy decided that growing out her bangs was for the birds.

Mom and I had driven to KS on an errand, and apparantly while we weren't here to tell her 'no' and Dad was preoccupied, she snuck off with the scissors.

This is the sixth time she's taken matters into her own hands. SIXTH!
She informed us very proudly that she "used the right scissors. Not the regular scissors, the special hair-cutting scissors, and saved the hair. See?" Yes, she did save the hair. She saved it and hid it in the cupboard.
So now she has some really, really, REALLY short bangs. I'm talking less than a half inch short. We COULD have just gotten her some hair clips, but no, that was too simple.

My sister had school picture day coming up when she was in second grade....... she gave herself a very "cutting edge" trim and has the pics to prove it. Mind you, that was in the 1950s, there were no shops open late for a fix it cut!

No, no, just tell them she's way ahead as far as fashions are concerned!

Do not know how old Miss Lumpy is but I get the impression she knows better. I have a young one who managed to do this to herself twice, but it wasn't only her bangs. The first time she turned her cute bob into a mullet, and the second time she decided her "sideburns" her ugly and nearly scalped herself. My other half and I both said to her (not knowing we were on the same page) that if she did it again we were taking the buzzers and giving her a haircut that she could not cut any shorter.

Drastic? Sure! But there are been no self HAIR cutting since.

Something to ponder?!?

But maybe the sixth time will be the charm?

Anyhow, at least now she's not going around shaking her head because her bangs are bugging her and she won't wear hair clips.
