Birthdays
Scissor Move

Clown Care
“My husband and I left our daughter with my parents for the weekend so we could attend a wedding. It also happened to be Halloween. They said they’d dress her up to trick-or-treat…perhaps they got carried away.”

Split Ends
“My ex-husband surprised me after work with a birthday cake. I wanted a picture of my son and I for the scrapbook so was leaning forward to get closer to him. I had not been to the hairdresser’s in 2 years and had age inappropriate hair at the time. The candles took care of that and luckily, my husband managed to put out the flames with his bare hands once he realized what was happening. Of course, he missed the shot of me screaming my head off. I’ve been going for regular trims since.”
