This story happened while Dad was at the CCF Training Course last week, and Mom was helping Tristan get ready for school. For a bit of background, Tristan has been growing his hair longer, and longer this year. Evidently, it had reach the point where his bangs were in his eyes.
.
So, the decision was clear. It was time to get the bangs cut. So, while Mom was not watching, he went to the mirror with a pair of scissors and chopped off his bangs. Almost down to the roots. Then, he put a cap on and went to school. Mom noticed nothing.
.
When Mom picks Tristan up from school later that day, his hat is not on, and Mom thinks he has been attacked by some band of thieves during school. When Dad comes home from his trip, a giggling group meets him at the front door and the photo shows all:
Perhaps the most ironic part of the story is that we had our final haircuts scheduled for the next day with Sonja, our wonderful hairdresser from South Africa. So, she worked her magic, and with a little spiking and hair gel, Tristan is as good as new.
Parenting lessons to be drawn from this experience:
1. If Tristan offers to cut your hair, don't take him up on it. Although the bangs were cut fairly straight. Maybe with practice.
2. Just because you make it through almost 12 years without a hair cutting incident does not mean it will never happen.
3. Always make sure you stay in good terms with your hairdresser, just in case you need them in an emergency.
