Our shocking family secret

Okay, it's time to come clean.  I know some of you have noticed it in our pictures.  Some of you have even seen it in person and didn't think it proper to comment. We have tried to hide it long enough. I'm just going to come out and say it:




Our child has a mullet.

Business in the front.

Party in the back.

We didn't plan for it to happen.  It sneaked* up on us, and before we could do anything the damage had been done.

We try to hide it with pony tails and such, but the hair in front is so short that it can't even make it into a hair elastic.

We have toyed with the idea of getting her a haircut. Why are we just "toying" with the idea, anyway? Why not get her in the chair and hack off those flowing locks which are only located on the back of her head? Not shockingly, part of the reason is just sheer laziness on our part.  Another factor is that I have this strange fear that the hair on the front of her head will never actually grow and she will be doomed to a life of bowl cuts.

I tell myself that there are worse things in life. Sure, that's true. But middle school could be pretty tough if you're the kid with a bowl cut.



      *Side note:  "Sneaked" sounds absolutely wrong in my mind, but my computer begs to differ.
      Apparently "snuck" is not a word. Am I as dumb as I sound right now?
