It All Makes a Little More Sense Now...

Let me just start by saying that I understand that having multiple children can be time consuming. Believe me, I understand the process of getting everyone fed, dressed, getting teeth brushed and hair done. I mean it takes me hours to get my clan ready to go somewhere, and that is with boys, who don't have much hair on their heads. So I am completely on board for doing things that make life easier.
With that said I think I now have a better understanding of why I never had any girls. Because I might have had the inclination to do something like THIS, just because it's "easy"!
(That was my mom's explanation)
In my mom's defense however...
Perms and Afro's were cool in the 70's.

That is some crazy hair. Don't worry, Brock's mom gave him perm--she told him it was cool.

Rendi said...

LOVE those pics because I had that same ugly do! Why did mothers think that was cool to burn our heads with those home perms?

Titel Family said...

I don't know what to say. I stuck with the perm until I was like 15...at least you got rid of yours pretty quick. Just be glad that you have long, pretty straight hair now.

Maybe that's why I'm having another boy!

Not so.

All I have to say is Little orphan annie! At least you didn't have a mullet. That would be my cool hair do. YOu are brave for posting pics. I admire you for that. I could never!

Titel Troop said...

Wow.....I would have never guessed it you ....by the curly hair that is. Porter looks just like you in those pictures! I didn't know you can perm your hair so young. I also fell victim to the perm thing.....but not till I was about 10. Maybe that is why my kids all have long straight hair, I am traumatized by curls! I had a perm mullet.....to bad no one will ever seen those pictures!!!
