Scissors are for paper! Scissors are for paper! Scissors are for paper!

[JimmyJazz]

My kid has a MULLET! :cry: :cry: :cry:

No hair salons are open on Monday's in this area and I'm worse with scissors than she is :cry:

[MissMillie]

1. My son used to do this all the time

I guess he still does, only now he uses buzzers.

[JimmyJazz]

24. I was mortified when I walked into the room and saw what she had done!

It doesn't look as bad as it could have - it is somewhat symetrical. BUT STILL: A MULLET :cry:

[Shrubhater]

2. What's a mullet?

:shrug:

[JimmyJazz]

5. THIS IS A MULLET!!!!!!

Also known as "hockey hair" :D

[Zuni]

12. find MrsGrumpy's prom pictures stat

she went with a guy who had a prize mullet! :bounce:

I do not know why I remember that, but she posted the pic and I was rolling

[jonnyblitz]

28. delete ..replied to wrong post

[progmom]

3. she's still adorable!!

:loveya:

[JimmyJazz]

7. Yeah - that's what I was thinking when I walked into the room and

saw her with a fistful of hair in one hand and a pair of scissors (the safety kind) in another: "how adorable" :mad:

[Zuni]

4. I think her mullet

is actually better than most

[Serial Mom]

6. Oh, what a doll!

She looks great even if she cut some of her hair. Every kid does that or something similar ...

my grandson shaved off one eyebrow one time!

[JimmyJazz]

9. In my brother's first grade picture, he's practically bald from the

number the little neighbor girl did on his head one day before school pictures :D

[Yit]

11. His name isn't Vanilla Ice is it?

[JimmyJazz]

13. LOL!

Welcome to DU :hi:

Nice avatar!

[Yit]

23. JimmyJazz? As in JimmyJazz Records?

[JimmyJazz]

26. I'm sorry - JimmyJazz as in the Clash song....

Police walked in for Jimmy Jazz... :D

[Yit]

27. Ok, that was my second guess.

[merh]

8. Sounds like a good reason to climb in the car and find

a mall with one of those hair places. You can go and have her hair fixed and eat a good meal. What an adventure.

She is still beautiful and what wonderful eyes. You must be so proud.

:hi:

[JimmyJazz]

10. Excellent Idea! Plus, it's really hot here!

Thank you! :hi:

[merh]

19. Go have fun - of course, explain that this is

not a reward for using the scissors inappropriately. Tell her, this is Mommy's reward for not being too upset with her.

Have a great time! :hi:

[Magrittes Pipe]

14. Oh dear.

:o


Still a cutie, though (just like mom).

[JimmyJazz]

18. Thank you, sweetie.

I think she's testing me to see if my head really will pop off!

:o

[Lavender Brown]

15. Whoops!

My sisters used to lock themselves in the bathroom and cut their hair and their dolls' hair off. I guess it's a universal childhood adventure! :D

[JimmyJazz]

17. She started with doll's hair last week and has apparently upgraded!

Oh no! She's in the same room with her sister RIGHT NOW! I'd better go check :D

[Lavender Brown]

20. My sister upgraded to piercing ears at home!

She started with me! x( :cry: I still have the holes she made in my ears when I was 7 and she was 12. I had to have them re-done (by a professional) because she did them totally off-center. So now I have two holes in each ear.

[name not needed]

16. My art teacher from kindergarten claimed scissors hadn't been invented yet

Then she claimed, she had invented the scissor. Oh, and while we're on the topic, my friend's girlfriend dumped him, so he got drunk, shaved his head and now has a mohawk.

[JimmyJazz]

22. I have no problem with mohawks - not on my daughters per say...

[Jessica]

21. She's beautiful ... mullet & all.

I did this to myself as a kid - but I just cut one really short hunk on top of my head. At least she has the general concept down. :) :hi:

[JimmyJazz]

29. Thank you, Jessica. That's very kind. I guess I'm grateful

she doesn't have school tomorrow and I can get this fixed then.

I never did this as a kid. The worst thing I ever did was take a full roll of toilet paper and walk around the house unwinding it. In our house, you could walk in a circle going from room to room and I wanted to see how many times I could go around with a full roll. "Quite a few" would be the correct answer :o

[Jessica]

33. LOL

I also colored my potty with a purple crayon. Potty training easier for girls? -- Not the case with me.

I can't wait to have kids. Really. :) :hi:

[johnnie]

25. Sorry ....but I have to LOL

She is a cutie.
I like that first picture. She looks like she is proud of herself...lol.

[JimmyJazz]

31. I liked it better when she was cutting the hair off the Barbie dolls.

:D

[jonnyblitz]

30. when i first read this post i intially thought

you gave her the haircut because nothing was open on mondays and you fucked up and that is how it came out!! i was gonna say...couldn't you wait for ONE DAY? LMFAO...

[JimmyJazz]

35. Nope: "Scissors are for paper" is just one of the many sayings

parents repeat more times than they care to admit. Apparently, a conversation with a brick wall would have been just as effective x(

[jonnyblitz]

36. hey, mullets aren't that bad.

:P

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

59. There's NO WAY to convince small kids that something they see adults doing

shouldn't be done by them too.

[In_The_Wind]

32. omg ... she's still so cute!

:hug: you know better than to look away for more than 5 seconds ... but it will grow back.

[sundog]

34. aww, what a cutie

:bounce:

and yes, i think you sabotaged your future as a hair stylist :P

[Not_Giving_Up]

37. Cute kid!

My daughter has taken scissors to hair more than once. I feel your pain. She once tried to trim her bangs while Dad was watching her...when I came home from work they were much too short and all crooked. She told me Daddy did it...he had trimmed her bangs a week before.

She's nine now, and just last week I found a doll with her legs cut off and her hair scalped. she snuck the scissors into her room, which she knows is a no-no.

[Debbi801]

38. Oh, I am so sorry...

So far (knock wood) I have been lucky enough to escape this. The only thing that has been cut has been Barbie's hair.

Knowing my 3 yr old, though... I know it is only a matter of time. :scared: And I bet it will be my 10 yr old daughter whose hair he goes after.

Good luck finding a salon. She's awfully cute, even with the mullet.

Debbi

[CaliforniaPeggy]

39. Your daughter is so PRECIOUS! Even with her haircut, she still is...

It'll grow...and one fine day, this story will be part of the family stories that are told when everyone is just sitting around after dinner, or on the porch or by the pool...Family stories tie us together and bring us pleasure! (Well, they do, after the hair has grown back, LOLOL!)


:pals:

[JimmyJazz]

44. Thank you so much! I didn't think she was so precious when I

saw what she had done to herself, but I guess it is part of being a kid. :)

[movie_girl99]

40. at least she still has a bit of fringe left

lucky she didn't cut it to the scalp.

[JimmyJazz]

46. I think I walked in before she had done too much damage!

I can't imagine what would have happened if she had had five more minutes alone with those scissors!

[xultar]

41. CUT THE MULLET!!!!!!

[Jara sang]

42. She is adorable.

The chop job you did on her makes her look even cuter. Be on the look out for retribution from her twenty years from now though.

[JimmyJazz]

43. I didn't cut her hair! She cut it!

But, thanks for saying she's adorable :)

[Jara sang]

48. Awwwww... that is just pitiful.

and even more cuter, can she sing? Get her an audition for "Annie". That kids got talent, I can see it.

[samplegirl]

58. but Mom

its what they use to cut your hair. Toooooooooo cute!

[chickenscratching]

45. awwwww

that's the cutest mullet ever!

[ET Awful]

47. She's still cute as hell :)

She's gonna end up with like a little pixie haircut, but she's still a cutie :)

[LizW]

49. Well, at least she couldn't reach those curls in the back!

LOL! Sorry to laugh, but most of us who are parents have been there.

My son did MY hair when he was about three. I was dozing on the couch and I felt this gentle tugging. My hair was really long, and he liked to "pet" it and I thought that's what he was doing. Then I suddenly recognized the "snip" sound. I jumped up and this hank of hair fell off!

Fortunately, because I was lying down, the part he cut was sort of under the rest and didn't show...much. :D

[JimmyJazz]

50. You can laugh at my story all you want, but yours is funnier!

:rofl:

[southlandshari]

52. Oh dear!

:rofl:

[SarahB]

51. One of mine used to have a fascination with window treatments.

Curtains, shades, etc. all cut with scissors. :grr:
Hair grows thankfully. I'm still sorry though. I hope it gets fixed. Poor kid. Poor mommy. :hug:

[driver8]

53. That is cute...my daughter cut her own hair about a week before

we were having our family Christmas pictures taken. I think her "bangs" started about 2 inches above her forehead.

[Pithlet]

54. Aww. How cute. That is classic.

Your daughter is adorable!

[joneschick]

55. new summer hair cut for cutie pie

After laughing 'til gasping...Daughter #3, now 14yo, no matter what hair cut/style I've ever paid for would grow into a mullet withing 3 weeks. Your little one is lovely and a summer haircut is a fine tradition.

[Left Is Write]

56. Not to worry.

You'll get her to a salon soon and she can have an adorable pixie cut.

[Left Is Write]

57. And one other thing...

if it were me, I'd be making a scrapbook layout out of that. :D

[Madrone]

60. We need a BEFORE picture.

For the full effect, you know.


;)


Cute!
