Mrs BC's House of Chaos: Home Hairdressing Horror

Every few weeks, Mr BC buzz cuts his own head with a Breville clipper - a long standing arrangement that is both economical & stylish, for him. For months now both The Gentleman & Monkeyboy have been begging for 'spikey hair just like Daddy'. I've been resisting, telling them to wait until the first day of the school holidays, because as any child knows, that day is so far off to be almost non existant...except last Saturday, when the day arrived & my bluff was called.

Monkeyboy wasn't enjoying the experience so much..

And did a runner before his 'Doo' was complete..you can't see the back in this photo.

Halfway through cutting The Gentleman's uber luxuriant natural beige locks, the Breville gave up the ghost, resulting in an extremely bizzare style. Most unfortunate! Mr BC had to run off to Kmart to buy another Breville, during which time the boys made the most of their amusing hairstyles. Monkeyboy looks a little like a ranga Grinch, dont you think? The Gentleman looks like Mr Burns, in his wild youth..

The Gentleman was quite happy to have his haircut completed, but Monkeyboy got skittish again, & ran around like this for a few hours.

Eventually Mr BC manged to clip off the lonely sideburn, & both boys are now the proud owners of 'spikey hair just like Daddy.'

I hope this is well & truly out of their system, because I think they look like White Supremacists. We went to a festival the next day & I made them wear beanies, but they kept taking their beanies off to show everyone their shaved heads!!
Mr BC gets fits of hysterical man-giggles everytime we talk about it. Or rather, everytime I complain about it. He says that The Gentleman looks like Tripitaka, & that Monkeyboy looks like Uncle Fester. This is what I'm going with, because the white supremacist thing isn't so funny!
