No, I didn't say teasing doesn't work. Here at Stanley Central, teasing works perfectly. Teasing here always results in a reaction.
I said, Tweezing doesn't work.
In step two, of "dealing with early facial hair", I assumed that where waxing doesn't work, tweezing will. Those stray chin hairs, and extra bristly eyebrows, or the dreaded beginnings of uni-brows.
"Screaming like a girl" was the result of my tweezing experiment. Okay not quite. But flinching, watery eyes, pulling away, running away, etc. was.
It was comical.
I have tweezed myself enough it doesn't even faze me now, but these boys couldn't take it. I even chilled the skin a little first, but to no avail. They won't let me anywhere near them with a tweezer now. And I don't trust myself with wax on eyebrows. So I guess they are just destined to let nature take its course.
I promise I am not a sadist. I just got a little carried away with some willing-to-give-it-a-shot teenagers. Hopefully I haven't completely lost their trust when it comes to other, less extreme grooming suggestions, like, "I don't think you should go to school without combing your hair" or "if you do not put deodorant on, I will not let you leave the house".
I just love them and want them to look decent.
XO guys.
Mary Ann you are just too funny!
