CindyH:
Nothing like starting your day with a hair-raising crisis. I was trying to get 10-year-old Sam out
the door to school when I heard him yell, “Mom! I had an accident with the scissors!’ Yikes! I ran upstairs and found him in my bedroom holding a pair of scissors. He’d given himself a “Moe” haircut, ala 3 Stooges. “Sam, using my scissors without permission is NOT an accident,” I said. “Yeah, but my hair is,” he replied. Didn’t have time to even him out. He’s got a couple big Christmas programs next week, so perhaps a buzz cut is in order. When I asked him why he felt the need to barber himself he just shrugged. Sigh.
Question: Have you — or a child of yours — ever created havoc by trying to cut your own hair with scissors?
