Step Away From the Spray Bottle, Sir

in Family, Hair

Over the past few years, we’ve rarely strayed from Wito’s signature hairstyle. You’ve seen it before…the swoopy, longer bangs in the front…short, but not too short in the back…

It just suits him. Not that the haircut doesn’t have its drawbacks, though. It can get a little hot and sweaty all up in there, and we deal with some pretty raunchy bedhead, to boot.

And I raaaaaan, I ran so far awaaayyy…

A few weeks ago, we decided to shorten it up a bit. We’ve hit the warmest part of the summer, and it was looking a tad bothersome. D (who does a mighty fine job of cutting his own hair, might I add) took the reigns and gave Wito a nice summer cut.

Wito was happy with it, and although we definitely miss the swoop, it was a nice change.

Fast forward a couple of weeks, when I opened his backpack and retrieved the ominous school picture envelope.

This is what I found.

(I’d like to apologize for the abundance of caps lock you are about to witness.)

OMG BWAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

WHA? WHO? HUH? Who is that child? Is that my child? What the hell happened to the top of his head? Is it, um, wet? Has it been sprayed with water or some oil-like substance? What’s the vertical span of that business on top? WHO MANIPULATED MY CHILD’S HEAD, I ASK OF YOU PLEASE SIR.

It’s just so…wet and spiky and, well, of the douchebag variety.

You guys, I cry-laughed for at least 20 minutes upon finding these photos. I think we will pass on this year’s package, thanks.

UPDATE: After chatting with some moms, it seems many children in Wito’s class had surprising hairstyles in their photos. When called and asked, the photographer shared that “they do not normally restyle kids hair, but this particular class was unfortunately right after recess.” Unfortunate indeed, good sir. UNFORTUNATE, INDEED. Heh.

    Hahahahah! This might be the cutest thing I’ve seen in a while. You’ve got to buy at least a few, for posterity’s sake.

    From what I gather from some other moms, it seems the photographer’s helper/”stylist” took a little too much liberty with the styling portion of the photo shoot. ;)

    PLUS! Who takes photos directly after recess? The kid looks like a sweaty tomato.

    Oh my god. I am dying! I am cry laughing with you. We have similar hair issues. He wants it short to help with the sweat/keeping cool issue, but also likes to keep the signature longish look. I’d die if I saw this style happen on him.

    You must get some sort of package – you’ll want to remember this one. Just don’t do what my parents did – hang every school photo above the entryway stairwell as some sort of hall of shame.

      I agree! Order something, you need to remember this!

    I remember they ALWAYS took school photos at the worst times (back in the day) (I feel so old right now). Right after lunch, or right after recess, or right after I decided crimping my hair was a the best of all ideas. Also, body-suits.

    (Also, Derbs is still the cutest, even while being forced to rock Jersey Shore hair.)
