I let my 9-yr-old son get a mohawk last summer, and now they both want one for this summer. Hair grows! Pretty quickly!

And yes, everyone knows those are your pjs, and no one cares that you couldn't get it together to out anything else on.

Hilarious!

Awesome kid, awesome mom.

It is just hair and trust me, my folks played this the same way. If I had good grades and the like they were willing to bend on the little stuff. It is like a release valvue, it allows just enought steam to be blown off before there is a explosion.

Better pink hair than some of the clothes teens wear...I teach 'em, and it makes me cringe. And I'm even one of the "cool" teachers (or so they tell me--of course, they could just be sucking up.)

As the mother who paid to have her 10yo daughter get a purple stripe dyed in her hair, just because, I feel ya. It's just hair.

I remember wanting my ears pierced at 13, and my mom said it was 'too mature' for me. If only she knew what body parts teenagers were getting pierced these days.
