I’m here to tell you about a very unfortunate event that happened involving some sticky stuff and Rivers hair….
That’s right, every parents worst nightmare. GLUE IN THE HAIR!
Let me set the scene for what was a very unfortunate turn of events, its Rivers birthday eve, Daddy Rex and River are all playing in the garden whilst I’m trying to get a few last minute bits ready for the birthday girl tomorrow. When suddenly all hell breaks loose. Before I know it hubby is carrying River inside shouting NO NO NO. Turns out she’d managed to get into a apparently locked shed, was the shed really locked? or is hubby trying to dig himself out of a very sticky situation quite literly! But hey ho that’s an argument for another day. Anyway back to the commotion of what can only be described as a fucking monstrosity, River had apparently managed to get hold of some carpet glue from said “locked shed”
Panic sets in as I see the massacre in her hair, rushing up the stairs to get that shower on to try and salvage what I can of her perfect blond hair. Water bombing the poor girl, shampooing the shit out of her sad little tuft of hair but that gluey shit is not budging, what the hell is this fuckery, shampooing and more shampooing all the while she’s screaming her little butt off. I’ve come to the realisation the inevitable is looming and the scissors are screaming my name.
Mission aborted, who knew carpet glue wouldn’t wash out of a poor little kids hair. We have no choice now but to go with the very traumatising (for mummy) back up plan. Out come the scissors and obviously River is not having any of this. Have you ever tried holding down a 2 year old whilst chopping chunks out their hair? I don’t recommend it. The poor little sod is screaming to high heaven whilst I’m snipping away crying inside that I’m ruining her perfect blond hair.
Ordeal over, can confirm I won’t be applying for a job in a hair salon any time soon, meanwhile River is walking around with a ridiculousley hideoaus chunk of hair missing. I guess the moral of this story is don’t be an absolute moran and lock the fucking shed door (I will pass the memo onto daddy)
RIP Rivers beautiful hair.
