Unfortunatly, yes. He's not doing it maliciously. He's just too curious for his own good.Originally Posted by butzie
How old is your son and has he done such things before?
This is true! He knows better then to mess with anything with fire. I have taught him that muchOriginally Posted by Natalie_ca
Ugh!
I guess you could look on the bright side. At least he didn't set it on fire?
Curiosity is a good thing, and he will probably do great things in life....if he lives that long, like you said!Originally Posted by Dixie_Darlin

He said he did it because he wanted to know what it was made of
Good thing it wasn't new!

My mom made the mistake of taking me with her to get her hair done when I was 5 or 6. A few days later, she was taking a nap on the couch and I decided to play "hairdresser". Yep, I gave mom a new "do" while she was sleeping. Now, this was back in the seventies when women got their hair done once a week, it was curled, teased and topped with enough hairspray that a tornado wouldn't move a strand. So basically, I just stuck the scissors in this 4 inch high helmet of hair and started snipping. She woke up when the scissors got stuck and I pulled her hair (this was after about 10 minutes of "grooming"). Needless to say she was NOT very impressed with my efforts!
My dad's reaction was priceless though! I remember, he walked in after work, glanced over and said hi, then went through the hall to the dinning room where he would hang up his coat. Halfway there his footsteps stopped. He walked back slowly and peeked around the corner. He stared. His mouth opened. Then closed. Then opened again (later, when mom told the story, she knew he was wondering if he should comment on the new "do"). Finally mom said "it was your daughter!". He said "oh, ok. I was going to tell you to find a new hairdresser!" and burst out laughing!
So, it could be worse. At least you can repair or toss the chair. My mom had to purchase a wig until her hair grew back!

My mom had new white carpet installed when I was about 3 yrs old. When she was taking a nap, I drew on her carpet with red lipstick
Then about 6 months later, I spilled chocolate syrup on it
That is hysterical!!!!Originally Posted by calico2222

Omg you two cut her wedding gown?Originally Posted by gayef
I don't know what it is about kids and scissors ... my sister and I cut up my mom's wedding gown to make Barbie doll clothes. *sigh* My mom is now eighty years old, my sister is 50, I am 48 and Mom ~still~ to this day gets mad at us whenever the topic comes up.
Yeah, we did ... we thought we were saving money by making our own and I can honestly say that we had some wicked awesome Barbie clothes out of it. *grin* But needless to say, my mother wasn't impressed at all with our attempts to sew our own Barbie clothes.Originally Posted by StarryEyedTiGeR

He is a very intelligent child. (I'm not just saying that because he's mineOriginally Posted by calico2222
I honestly think you may have something special in that little hellion of yours. Oh, but you may want to get some seditives to get you from now until he goes away to college!
It wasn't more then a month or so ago that him and a little girl decided to give out haircuts to all the neighborhood kids..Originally Posted by StarryEyedTiGeR
Alycia- my advice to you - Hide the scissors!!!
When I was little I got into trouble with scissors too!I gave my rabbit a hair cut, my poodle a hair cut (his little ears never did grow back right), I cut my nightgown to make a "miniskirt" like my sisters, and I cut my hair- lifted it up right in the middle of my scalp and cut it down to the roots! My mom liked to have had a stroke when she found out what i did lol...it took years for it to grow out evenI got my butt spanked for that one
So yea, hide the scissors!
