Now, living with two girls, you are going to have the "I don't want to be here" moments. When the little one is getting her hair brushed, it is one of those "moments". As a guy, I guess I am not seeing the reason why you have to scream as if you are summoning demons or as if you have been stabbed several times, but maybe I am not seeing the big picture here.Seriously! After the girl she usually is like the little girl on the right for the next 20 minutes!
Sure, as she grows up, like tonight for instance, we were able to take her mind off of it for a moment while the wife brushed her hair out because the little one really doesn't care if she looks like Dana when she gets taken over by Zuul. (Ghostbusters in case you didn't get that reference). My question is why? Why would you have to scream bloody murder when getting your hair brushed out. I have threatened to cut off all the hair at times to try to make her scream and that only made her scream louder. I guess when it comes to fashion, I know ZERO. Which can be looked at as a good thing.
So often it seems that she uses it as a way to get ONE UP on me. That is the joys about being a parent. I have seen the hair brushing to make sure. It seemed like a was a Referee for wrestling trying to figure out if all legal moves were used. However, the wife holds back her hair to avoid pulling it and brushes out the tangles. Does it still hurt? Sure it does a little, but GOD! That is why whenever the little one is getting her hair brushed, I make sure that I am in my room with my fingers in my ears. I think that is why the bathroom is fully stocked with de-tangling sprays and 3 different brushes.
Many men have to deal with the PMS that women have and granted, men have it too at times, but when you are living with two girls and one is brushing the other's hair, it can be rather frustrating. The little one has beautiful, long hair, but the issue is, she never likes to brush it. So, we have an issue when the wife tries to brush it after it has been neglected (because we are trying to allow the little one to brush her own hair) for a few days.
It may seem like no big deal, but you start to contemplate taking up drinking when your child starts sounding like a pig trying to get away. The set of pipes on the little one makes me want to sign her up on 'X Factor'. I made the mistake of mimicking her when she is in a screaming fit. NEVER DO THIS! She only screamed louder and higher, which I would have had to grab a certain part of my body to be able to reach that note. It is ridiculous. Oh and yeah, if you are still scratching your head over the Ghostbuster reference, here is the clip.
