Every parent has likely experienced a moment when their child decides to take matters into their own hands—literally! A recent story involving a three-year-old named Lily highlights this perfectly. After giving herself a rather ambitious haircut, Lily’s dad recorded the aftermath, capturing a moment that many can relate to. When asked why she decided to cut her hair, Lily responded through tears, “Because Ms. Emily cuts it.” Her father gently reminded her that “Ms. Emily went to school to learn how to cut hair.” To which Lily replied earnestly, “I want to learn too! I was just practicing.”
It’s a heart-wrenching scene that resonates with many of us. Who hasn’t attempted to create bangs or a new hairstyle, thinking, “How difficult can it be?” However, Lily’s haircut was not just a simple fringe; it was a full-on mullet, a brave leap towards hairstyling greatness!
A Lesson in Failure
One of the best pieces of wisdom I’ve received was, “If you’re going to fail, fail big.” The most touching part of the video is how it concludes on a hopeful note. Her father reassures her, saying, “Your hair will grow back. Just promise me you won’t cut it again until you’re older. We can get you some scissors then.”
