Cool

1. Cutting your kids hair into a "mohawk". This is cool.

(I have had Cannon's hair styled this way many times and debated actually having it cut to sport a mohawk/fauxhawk all the time).

2. Coloring your kids mohawk green. This is still cool.

(Granted, Cannon will probably never sport green hair, but I appreciate the creative child/parent that does).

3. Piercing BOTH of your 7 year old son's ears. This is not cool.

Yes, this is what I saw at the park today. A gorgeous, 7 year old little boy with a green mohawk and two pierced ears. I do not find it cool to pierce your son's ears at this age. Pierced ears never really go away. There is always a "hole". I think that this kind of creativity should be reserved for when the "man" not "child" is old enough and rational enough to decide to get his ears pierced himself (oh and yes pay for it too).

I really wanted to suggest to the parent that the kid get a little "ink" to complete the look.

So what is your vote...is this parent cool or stupid?

(Oh and yes I know I need to eliminate the word stupid from my vocabulary, so that my son does not repeat it!)
