I feel sure I have at one point in my life...
Funny story.... last year, one of my kids (when I say "my kids", I mean my kindergartners) told her mom that I cut her hair. So the mom confronted me, I guess believing that I actually cut it??? I told her I absolutely DID NOT cut her hair and would NEVER cut a child's hair! Especially not without a note explaining myself. The mom said "Well she told me she got glue in her hair and you had to cut it out". Which I guess makes sense but still...nooooooooo I did not cut your kid's hair. Thank you very much. So after that was solved, I was appalled that this mom would really think I would cut her kid's hair. The nerve!
ok so here's PART TWO of my story.....
A few weeks later my kids were lining up after recess. They like to be RRRRRRRRRREALLY close to me so of course one child was basically standing on my toes. I can't remember who said it, but one child said something pretty funny and I laughed (not a real laugh, more of a puff of air coming out of my mouth laugh). And what do you know......OUT CAME MY GUM INTO THIS LITTLE GIRL'S hair standing on my toes. WHOOOOPPS!!!!! Hate when that happens. ****good news is it was a different little girl, I knew you were worried****
So I immediately panicked! OMG. I have to get this gum out of her hair. Guess how??
YEP! Had to use the good ole pair of scissors. It wasn't too bad b/c the gum was stuck towards the end of her hair so the damage was minimal. But yes, I had to cut the kid's hair. Isn't it ironic?? Don't cha think?
So I called the mom and told her about it (the second mom, not the first mom...she will never know my secrets....) Anyway, She laughed and we all lived happily ever after.
Now for PART THREE.......
This past week, I noticed this is one of my kindergartner's hair.....
A BIG wad of green gum. Uh Oh! Can't just cut this one out without doing a lot of damage. This gum had clearly been stuck in her hair for a day or two. Apparently, her mom was out of town so the Dad was in charge...This is what happens when the mom goes away. ANYWAY! Well one of my fellow teachers ( a much more experienced and wise teacher) told me a little secret...(And it doesn't involve peanut butter...I knew that's what you were thinking)
WD-40. It will get gum out of hair! So naturally, she had a bottle of WD-40 in her desk. Who doesn't have that in her desk??
It worked like MAGIC. The gum came out without hurting the little girl or putting a large gash in her beautiful (and now greasy) long hair! Who knew???
