Oops, They Did It Again: Adorable Kid Fails That'll Melt Your Heart

traditional children's haircut. This picture most certainly shows the aftermath of a child's mistaken attempt at self- grooming or maybe a sibling's well-meaning but unfortunate hairdressing endeavor. The picture most likely shows a small youngster with a very unusual and perhaps asymmetrical hairdo that runs against any known style or vogue. It might show sporadic, different length hair patches, maybe with bald patches or areas where the hair has been chopped very near the scalp. The child's facial expression may be anything from complete confusion at the outcome of their workmanship to proud joy at their "new look." The photographer has caught this moment of home anarchy, maybe capturing elements like dispersed hair on the floor or the "tools" employed for this impromptu styling session: safety scissors, maybe even craft glue or stickers as "hair accessories." This picture reminds me humorously of children's inventiveness and their capacity to make an ordinary chore an adventure (or misadventure). Drawn out at subsequent birthdays or graduations to the subject's annoyance and everyone else's enjoyment, this kind of image is likely to become a family legacy.
