The Haircut

I had this idea just today and felt like pulling off a quick kiddism. I do seem to remember trying to cut my own hair when I was a kid. I think I was in the garage with my little dull school scissors sawing away at my bangs. I think I took a big, funny chunk out of them. But I could be remembering wrong.

Anyone else screw up their hair when they were a kid? My mom messed up my hair up badly, too, but I was older and that, my friends, is a whole nutha story.

Today was boring and needed some more fun, so there you go...
i'm laughing more at how you managed to get your face askew from your neck! you are such a funny, funny lady, kiddo!

@summerfield Hey, that's just the way I look;-). No editing on a head or anything. The things we do for selfies.
October 22nd, 2015  
Great expression. This is such a fun series.

@summerfield @dh I have so had this same expression in a selfie before. First year I think. And I was wearing groucho marx glasses.

Don't do it! Don't do it!

Love when your images are at the top of my feed. I need that smile in my day!

Nailed it! Everyone can identify I'm sure. Get this : I had a first edition Barbie. I took her out of the box and cut her hair.

@cejaanderson Down top the scalp? Oh noooo! :-)

Fantastic -- like @nadaa I want to cry out -- STOP!!!! But it seems a rite of passage. Mine is so curly (and was then) that it was hard to mess up -- or make look presentable!
Had a fun day with Meg today!

@amandal OMG!!! IAmanda.. I seriously did do this yesterday.... cut 3 inches off my hair all the way around... When the coworker came back from lunch she looked at me and said.. Did you go get your hair cut. when I told her I did it myself she said turn around. and informed me I got it straight all the way around.. LOL..

too funny!
October 22nd, 2015  
Wonderful, haha
October 22nd, 2015  
@cheribug sounds like you are a pro!
October 22nd, 2015  
I knew there was an advantage to having very little hair...
October 22nd, 2015  
Wonderful kiddism....and, I think we are all guilty of doing that at one point or another, and I am not going to say when it was the last time I chopped off a few inches off my hair because it was getting scraggly, and I could not get in to see my hairdresser!! Love the fact that you are sitting on your legs, and you look about the height of a kid....and, the facial expression, of course! Nice details!
October 22nd, 2015  
I am loving your facial expression. I am not surprised you cut your hair when you were younger, you are a take charge kind of girl. I remember cutting my brother's ;)
October 22nd, 2015  
YIKES...my first thought is "NO...don't do it!" HAHAHA... Yes, I have butchered my own hair several times. Fun shot.
October 22nd, 2015  
@kategoring I love that you were smart enough to cut someone else's!!! :-)
October 23rd, 2015  
LOL, i remember being in 7th grade and my best friends decided to cut 5 inches off one side of my hair. I had to get a '"Pixie" hair cut to get it even. Ugh
October 23rd, 2015  
ahh! Brilliant one. I love it so much. I was at a child's birthday party a couple of years ago where the 7 year old birthday girl had that morning attempted to give herself a fancy new haircut. o my thinking about it the photos must be hilarious.
October 23rd, 2015  
wonderful capture ...
October 23rd, 2015  
Great capture...I always used to say the scissors accidentally cut my hair :)
October 23rd, 2015  
Professional cut to repair the damage -- $13
The look on your face -- priceless!

Love it!! Great tongue... because kids always stick their tongue out when they are concentrating. My daughter took a chunk out of her hair, but luckily not in an obvious place. She came to me with a handful of hair and tried to tell me it was her dolls hair. I didn't fall for it. Funnily enough it was just after we had read a Clementine book where one of the characters had cut her own hair..!!

Ha ha - another great selfie from Amanda complete with tongue! I never did cut my own hair, but I did cut my doll Julie's hair and was gutted when I realised it wouldn't grow back and that I'd ruined her for ever!
October 23rd, 2015  
Oh yes, done that :) Another cool selfie for the serie -I really enjoy your selfies and this theme
October 23rd, 2015  
Fun !
I have to confess I cut the eyelashes of my younger sister when I was a little girl because I was jealous....bad...I still remember my mum shouting at me....I'm still feeling uncomfortable with what I've done...
October 23rd, 2015  
You crazy lady !! Perfect capture of a 'kid' character.
October 23rd, 2015  
Very amusing.
October 23rd, 2015  
@tonydebont life is so much more fun when you are a little crazy:). Man, I LOVED my cruise this summer. I can see why you all do it so much. Oh to retire and see the world...:).
October 23rd, 2015  
@amandal Best you save lots of those pennies, cruising is great but not cheap.
October 23rd, 2015  
You pull these kiddisms off perfectly, right down to the concentration in the tongue!
@jamibann I did the very same thing - gave my doll-baby a haircut and then was crushed when I realized it was a permanent disaster. I still cut my own bangs and mess them up, so I've not completely 'grown-up'. I think my tongue still sticks out when I'm doing it too. Ha!

Haha- u always cracked me up:):)
October 24th, 2015  
Too FuNnY !!!! I used to always cut my bangs in-between haircuts. When I went to get my haircut they always knew. LOL Now haircuttery only charges 5 dollars to cut your bangs so I do that and don't get that funny confused look when I go to get my haircut. Your hair is growing back out after that last unmentionable haircut you got.

one of my boys did this at 2
October 26th, 2015

Haha, so recognisable, Sep my 3 year old tried it a couple of weeks back on his own hair and he also cut of a couple of curls from my nearly 2 year girl :-)
