What would possess my 9 year old daughter to shave off her right

[mcctatas]

eyebrow??? Can someone please tell me because I have no fucking idea.:shrug:

[enigami]

1. ah..she's nine

don't worry they do weird stuff like that.

[WCGreen]

2. I think it emblematic of the angst ridden cult perpetrated on the

american youth by McDonald's and Maybelline Eye Make Up

[mcctatas]

6. Damn that would be a good basis for my thesis

:rofl:

[enigami]

8. or...maybe, she's just nine

[Crazy Guggenheim]

3. LOL. For the same reason another kid might cut half the hair on

their head.

:rofl:

[libnnc]

4. same reason I shaved the hair off of my forearms at her age.

no clue...:silly:

[friesianrider]

16. Ha! So I'm not that weird!

I did the same thing - my best friend started doing it so I did, too. We were cheerleaders and thought that the football players hated hair on girls ANYWHERE except their heads :silly:

Suffice to say I was lucky to have made it through Junior High alive.

[libnnc]

20. yep. I thought I was too fuzzy for a girl...

I have very hairy, but blonde, forearms...so I tried cutting the hair with scissors one day...actually, I think I was Jr. High-aged too.

[iconoclastic cat]

35. I read that sometimes that happens to women who are underweight.

[fizzgig]

31. i think any of us were

lucky to make it out of junior high alive...

[Lilyhoney]

24. me too. and my legs. and gave myself bangs.

She will be pierced and tattooed in no time.

[Floogeldy]

5. Because she is CRAZY.

?

[enigami]

11. or .....maybe she is just nine

[Book Lover]

7. Yow

When I was about that age, I "trimmed" the left side of my bangs, which left them sticking up straight. Why? All I can recall is that I wanted to experiment with my hair.

[Akoto]

9. I wouldn't worry. When I was in kindergarten ...

My teacher pulled me aside because I was trying to cut my hair off with the safety scissors. Damn safety scissors and their no cuttingness.

The greatest irony is I ended up growing my hair long enough to reach my waist. :)

[SaveElmer]

10. I'd be more worried if she shaved off her left...

It was probably a political statement!!!

[Scout1071]

12. OMG. I almost sprayed OJ on my screen.

I'm sorry, but that is funny.

My sister once cut her bangs to her forehead. Said she was mad at me and that's why she did it. My mom quickly corrected her and told her that if she was mad at me then she should cut MY bangs, not her own!

Kids just do weird shit sometimes. But don't let her near anymore razors!

[Not_Giving_Up]

13. My daughter once cut her own bangs...

then blamed it on Daddy. He had trimmed her up a couple of days before, and she didn't think they were short enough. So, she cut them herself, crooked like mad! When I asked her who cut her bangs, she said "Daddy did it."

[friesianrider]

14. Oy...been there, done that.

When I was 11, I tried to pluck my eyebrows :evilgrin: It did NOT turn out well, and took months to grow back in. When I was 13, I started trying to cut my own hair, and when I was 14 my best friend and I decided it would be a great idea to shave our arms (!!). And, I can't believe I actually posted this on a public message board.

[evlbstrd]

15. I knew a kid in Catholic school

who cut his hair to look like St. Francis of Assisi.

[Crazy Guggenheim]

17. That's the best!

[mcctatas]

18. Doh!!

I am so hoping that is true:rofl: And thanks everyone, I have now concluded that she is either a normal 9 year old, an angst ridden political activist, or batshit crazy. I love the lounge!:toast:

[evlbstrd]

25. Conclusion: a normal 9 year old.

I have pictures of my daughter at that age that she'd kill me for showing to anyone.

[AllegroRondo]

36. I knew a kid in Catholic school who shaved his eybrows off

both of them. he was 13 or so.

why?

because there was nothing in the huge dress code that adressed eyebrows.

[jmowreader]

44. Didn't take long to add it, I assume...

and you thought Catholic schools couldn't react to unusual situations.

[BamaGirl]

19. Oh God, can't explain why, but I sure as heck hope my 9yo doesn't

get the same idea lol! You have my sympathies. I have two girls, 9 and 8. Some of the crap they do. :silly:

[CanuckAmok]

21. Not sure, but tell her to check her PayPal account.

The $5 I owe her is on the way. A bet is a bet!

[mcctatas]

23. Bwahahahahaha

:rofl:

[HEyHEY]

22. the same reason I set so many fires

To see what people would do

[KitchenWitch]

26. because she could

[Robeson]

27. You took my response....

...its scary how intelligent we Vikings fans are....;-)

[KitchenWitch]

28. indeed

and how much you and I think alike.

[Robeson]

29. LOL....

...that probably scares the people posting here, more than it does you and I...:rofl:

[KitchenWitch]

30. true true!

:rofl:

[WCGreen]

40. I know I am frightened

[WCGreen]

41. I know I am frightened

[Omphaloskepsis]

32. I shaved my unibrow at the same age.

I still do.. I just don't use things that plug into the walls now.

[MissHoneychurch]

33. when I was 6 I did something similar

it was shortly before I had my first schoolday. I decided to cut a bunch of hair out of my forhead bangs. Very clever. On my pictures from that day you can still see it, even though the hair dresser tried her best to make a "haircut" out of it.

So you see, it is nothing to worry about. She has to deal with the strange looks she gets at school.

[LynneSin]

34. Clenis made her do it

Rightwing repukes blame Clenis for everything!

[Cyndee_Lou_Who]

37. In my son's 4th grade school picture... he has HALF of one.

I cannot explain... it just happens.

[xmas74]

38. I shaved off my eyebrows once

but I was 16 and high at the time.
That probably doesn't help. Maybe she did it for the same reason I used to stick Kool-Aid in my hair-because she can.

[henslee]

39. Worry if she starts wearing trenchcoats & takes up bowling instead of P.E.

[RedCloud]

42. Could it be, oh I don't know, SATAN?

[derby378]

47. Search her CD collection for anything from Electric Hellfire Club (j/k)

[Zuni]

43. how odd

[greendog]

45. In fourth grade Sister Rose told us...

...if our hair was long enough that it could touch our eyebrows the static electricity would make us go blind.

She also explained the concept of "white lies" to us.

[DawgHouse]

46. You have to keep razors away from nine year olds.

My son shaved all the hair off his right arm. He said he was bored.

[wovenpaint]

48. Because they're there

and she can......OR practicing for her legs?????? :shrug:

[Left Is Write]

49. Curiosity? Impulsiveness?

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

50. Pictures. We must have pictures to help us

decide.

[mcctatas]

51. She get's her school pictures taken next week...

I figure they will be excellent blackmail tools when she's a teen so I'm contemplating ordering extra wallet sized:evilgrin:

[Raster]

52. just draw one on. she'll be fine. either that or cut the other off while

she sleeps. Just tell her you were trying to "even her out." Hugs.

[curse10]

53. It's cool?

:evilgrin:

I kid...

[GRLMGC]

54. I sorta did that once

I think I was 8 or 9 and I was convinced I had a unibrow. So I offered to shave my cousin's arms if she shaved off the hair in between my eyebrows. She ended up shaving off half my eyebrow. That sucked ass. Not exactly the same situation but that just made me remember

[u4ic]

55. I did it once when I was around that age

I wanted to have thinner eyebrows, like my older sisters, and thought shaving would be easier than plucking.

Boy, was I wrong. I looked like a frigging idiot.

I, however, didn't have a reason when I took the nail clippers and clipped all my eyelashes off...:crazy:

[nickgutierrez]

56. A quirky sense of humor?

:)

[laylah]

57. Well...

when I was 13, I had "bert" eyebrows so I would shave between them. One day, my hand slipped and I shaved off half of my left eyebrow; however, not wanting to be lopsided, I shaved them both off completely. :silly: My mother just about had a cow :rofl:

Jenn

[skooooo]

58. Nephew shaved both off when he was around 12 or so..

they think it's cool. AND it got a reaction out of you, so it was probably worth it to her.

lol
