My sister's kids all had buzz cuts. And my dad's name is Buzz. So Charlie's a rebel.

Kids Charlie's age should all have a buzz cut!  

Just last month we dropped the kids off at my sister's for an overnight while we went to a concert. Got back the next morning and my sister said "I gave Charlie a haircut." I was "oookaaay," and she just blurted "his bangs were in his eyes!" So she cut his bangs! Nothing else, just this sort of notch out of his beach-boy shag that he had going. When we got home Justine immediately said "Did you get gum in your hair? Why is it cut?" and I sort of explained what my sister had said but really, there's no explaining it.

Next day as we were carpooling to work, she was totally quiet most of the way but finally said "I know how I would react if someone cut my son's hair and it would not be kind at all." To which I could only agree.

before, kind of hard to see:

 
After, not too bad but really, wtf:

I feel ya! My mom forcibly took me to a beauty shop and had my long hair cut short. I cried for days, and that weekend, we went out for ice cream, and a grandfatherly type opened the door for me cuz I was carrying my ice cream and my mom's too. He said "let me get that door for ya', young feller!" omg talk about hysterics! I was devastated. I think I was 6 or 7.  "I'M A GIRL!" i screamed at him....i have to wonder how he must have felt.  :blush:

Well, you tell me,

Same kid:

Six year old I work with and me

Me:  well what makes you feel sad?
Him:  When Carly calls me a boogie-face
Me:  what do you do when Carly says that?
Him:  ignore her
Me:  that's a great thing to do!
Him:  why cause she's a douche bag?

Ahead of his time...How often do you find the parents are the cause of the child's problem?

I always had long hair as a child until my mom burned it trying to give me a perm and I had to cut it off.  We were in the drug store one day and were in different aisles.  I guess I was in the feminine hygiene aisle because some lady told me that little boys shouldn't be in that area.

Beautiful long blond hair. During my attempt at recovery I told him that in a few years his looks were going to come in handy with the girls He wasn't impressed. 

  Did he have long hair?

Some time ago Petey and I were going for a walk across the field near our neighborhood. The trail is sometimes used by the neighborhood kids on their way home from school. In the distance I saw a pretty little blond girl, maybe early teens,  walking down the trail. She hesitated when she came to Petey. I called Petey back and tried to give her some space. I don't want to scare anybody. She immediately began talking up a storm, and we started walking together.  She told me where she lived. I knew the house. I told her I thought the house had only boys. I didn't know they had a daughter. She said there were no girls that lived there.  Ahem......It turned out the pretty little girl was a pretty little boy. I apologized. He said he'd heard it before. I still felt like a bonehead. 

I'd posted this in kids say the funniest things, a few years back..... this is a 5 year old who I used to work with.  A very verbal, socially strange kid:
  
I bring him over to see the doctor who first evaluated him about a year ago, just to say "hi," we're standing in her doorway and she asks him a bunch of questions and then obviously runs out of things to ask.... there's a lull in the conversation.... he puts his hand up to his lips and speaks out the side of his mouth to me "awkward!"

The moment when I asked the bookstore customer (who I was at least familiar/on speaking terms with) when she was "due." Needless-to-say she was not pregnant. She was, however, remarkably gracious and placed the blame on the shirt she was wearing. I don't doubt that she was silently cursing me at the same time.

I did something similar when I was about 12 with a distant cousin who I assumed was a boy until we went swimming and "he" went into the ladies' locker room.
