Edwina Scissorhands

I was home alone with the kids on Saturday night when I saw them.

My heart started racing.

It was the the two things I fear most.

Not axe murderers or scary looking spiders.

Those I could've deftly removed with a few swift Ninja kicks thanks to the Crazy Bitch Boxing classes I've been going to. 

Nope, these two things fill me with paralysing fear whenever I find them together.


Scissors and little trails of hair.

It usually means my dreams of having a little girl with Rapunzel like tresses have once again been quashed. 

Seriously Jordy?  Like you haven't been the victim of enough dodgy haircuts, you're now resorting to doing your own like a modern day Edwina Scissorhands.


Here's a quick recap of the last 3 years of your life.

The first time I discovered a little hair trail in the hallway I assumed (yes, that makes me an ass) that the Barbies had gotten a make over.  

Sadly, no.

Kids, Scissors, Funny Photos

Your lovely big sister had lopped off all of your golden baby curls.  

I cried.

Then there was the time I was trimming your fringe and you moved.

Bad Fringes, Kids and Scissors

Told you not to move.

Eventually that fringe fail grew out and your hair was finally long enough to tie back.

So your thoughtful sister decided it must be getting in your eyes and lopped it all off again.

Bad Fringes

Fast forward to now.

The fringe had finally grown out AGAIN and I could braid your hair - woo hoo!  


Until Saturday night when you took it upon yourself to hackity hack into your hair.

Is a mullet the 'in' do at kindy?  Ugh.

But all is not lost.

Lucky for you, your mother has a bad habit of buying random things on the internet (Korean Wigs ON SPECIAL only $9!  I needs me some of those)...

Meet my new daughter, Rapunzel.

I love that wig, and her cute pose for the picture! Adorable.

Oh why do girls do it?
I remember though cutting my fringe ridiculously short when I was about seven, and then wearing a hat for ages afterwards.
Also, why doesn't it surprise me you have random wigs lying around the house?

LOVE the wig!! I am quietly distressed by this post, however, as my 3.5 year old cut her hair recently and you're suggesting here that it might happen again!!

4 days before my wedding my daughter (then aged 6) cut herself a very VERY short fringe and, to complete the look, wrote bum on her forehead in permenent marker - I feel your pain!

My girls have never cut their own hair. I think at 6 & 8 they may have past that age now. I hope so. Rachel x

And isn't she just loving herself SICK in that very stylish Korean wig!?

Oh that wig looks great! I've done the funny looking fringe before - it was my fist and last time. Hairdressers from then on! luckily my daughter is not into cutting her own hair. She's happy to cut anything else though.
