"Mum! When I cut my hair, it doesn't hurt!" The Cherub, 4 years old.

On the plus-side she *did* need a haircut...

The moral of the story being: Never give a small child scissors!

At least it wasn't another child's hair she cut. My brother, aged about 4, cut the hair of the little girl next door. My mother had to go and explain...

LOL! I did the same thing at about the same age, and ended up with a short style for a very long time.

I cut my eyelashes...

Hee! This was an important scientific experiment! Hair doesn't hurt when you cut it. Tell me she didn't give herself a buzz cut though...

I cut all my sister's hair off once and was completely shocked that it didn't come right back. Neither my mother nor my sister have ever let me forget it.

Well at least she didn't get a hold of a cat. At that age I cut off my cat's whiskers, and gave her a mohawk. My vet lectured me that cat's need their whiskers and don't wear mohawks

My son pulled that little trick when he was about 4, and afterward he looked like he'd gone through a few rounds of chemotherapy. Had to shave him bald, poor tyke.

Yes, the little ones love to restyle themselves!

LOL! Hope it wasn't too bad, and that you already took the christmas card pictures! ON the plus side it'll grow back :D

I did that when I was about that age too. I saw someone on tv with a neat haircut and asked my mom if she would cut my hair like that. She said that we could pin it up instead, and I guess I didn't think that was good enough, so I tried to give myself a pretty haircut. My poor mom had to cut so much off just to even it out! Be thankful it wasn't that bad. :)
