What is it with 4yr olds and Hair???

Only this time it was my hair. Tonight while I was helping the boys practice their spelling lists, Ellie began to do my hair. She had a comb, brush and ponytail holders. While she was working on one side of my hair, Jessica began on the other. She had the comb and was combing it when I felt her wind the comb. Jeff saw her and said something about the same time I realized what she was doing. You know when you get a round brush stuck in your hair?? This was a flat comb, my hair was wound around it about four times. I tried to unwind it and made it worse. The only option I could think of was to cut my hair. It would be a lock right by my face and would end up being about 1 1/2 inches long. Jeff began to help try to unwind it. We stood in the bathroom together for about ten minutes and realized how funny the situation was. Jeff then had the idea to get some cutting pliers and cut the prongs off the comb to see if that would help. While he went to retrieve the pliers I was able to get the comb out, thanks to Jeff's previous efforts of loosening some of the hair. It all ended okay. I'm not letting the girls do my hair again anytime soon.

Hi Stephanie,
I never had your adventure, but I have had Jessica cut of her bangs at the roots, twice. I also put a bald spot on Matt when he was 8, and it was two days before picture day. We actually kept him home from school the next day, until I could get it fixed. Eric worried that it would ruin him for life.
