I bet that this pic gives you a pretty good idea where I'm headed with this little story, but here goes...Tonight as Bill and I were fixing dinner, the girls were playing dress-up. They ran past us into our room to check themselves out in the full length mirror {which is not uncommon...happens almost daily}. We called them to the table and Carly came running out, but Macy didn't. We called her again. Still no Macy. We called one last time and she walked out of our room with a look of complete terror on her face, along with the above brush COMPLETELY tangled in her hair.
She instantly burst into tears...I think she was more scared than it was hurting her...but I didn't have the heart to snap a picture of her while she was in hysterics! SO, this after shot will have to do.
You can see all the hair that the brush pulled out. It took both Bill and I, but we successfully got the brush free...WITHOUT cutting one hair on our poor girl's head. She had tried to get it out herself, which of course only made it worse. The hairs were going in all kinds of crazy directions, but somehow no haircut was needed. I think that it's pretty safe to say that she won't go near that brush again with a 10' pole! When I asked her what she was trying to do, she said, "I was just trying to curl my hair". Bless that poor baby's heart. What a hard way to learn two things:
1. In our family, we have stick-straight hair that is hard enough to curl with a curling iron ~ a brush would NEVER do the trick.
2. This particular brush is really just for grown-ups to use.
Huh. I have a tiny glimpse of a memory of doing the same thing with my mom's brush when I was a kid. Maybe it's a girl thing? Anybody else?

ummmm....yeah...I sure did get a round brush stuck in my hair!
Poor macy g....I can totally picture her terror and hysterics!
Glad to know there was no cutting of the hair involved!
awww bless her heart! she probably had all kinds of horrible thoughts going through her head about how to get it out.
um well i am 35 and i STILL can't understand how the heck people use that darn thing!
i have NEVER been able to use those brushes, so tell her not to feel bad! I can just visualize the expression on her face when she came out ... oh that poor sweet girl! soooo relieved that no scissors were involved!
OH, poor thing... that makes my head hurt just thinking about it! Glad she's good to go now!
