Mommy’s redneck- July 15, 2012
Every child gets a bad haircut. You remember your perm, rat tail, mohawk, or bowl cut, right? I had “The Dorothy Hamill” 10-years too late in the mid-80’s. (Thanks Mom!) She swears it’s because I had “hair you just couldn’t do anything with!” Sadly, in the early 90’s when I had more control of my own ‘do, I rocked a piggyback perm with giant bangs. I have no pictures of this embarrassment since a bunch of our stuff is in storage while we’re selling the house. (That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.) In high school it was all about “The Rachel”. That was actually cute. Thanks Jen!
Greyson admits to having a “hockey mullet”. This is the only picture I could find that got even close. (Note to either of his sisters: Please send me a better mullet pic if you can find it. Thanks!)
I’m hoping Charlotte got her bad haircut out of the way as a 1 1/2 year-old. I feel terrible! I took her to the kiddie haircut place we went for her first haircut. She was very good this time. The lack of panicked screaming was wonderful. I had her sit on my lap and we read a book. I asked the stylist to TRIM her bangs. She hacked my poor baby’s hair INTO A MULLET! A straight-up white trash mullet!
Mom asked me why I didn’t get the back cut also, to even it out. (Are you seeing how the Hamill haircut may have come to pass?) I can’t bring myself to cut those beautiful toddler curls. I think I can make my little hillbilly look better with some pigtails and bows until it grows out a little.
Spread it around:
aww! Poor Charlotte! Thankfully this happened to her at 1 and 1/2 and not 10 and 1/2 though I guess that doesn’t mean it can’t happen again at some point in her life. :-/
OMG. I kind of feel bad laughing at a toddler. But, whoaa.
Ha ha…. My daughter had a mullet cut too. I cringe a little when I see a photo of her from the day her brother was born. Oh well, it didn’t take too long to grow out.
