Would you let your kids do scratch-off lottery tickets?

Sometimes DH and I will buy them at the grocery store for fun. DS asked me this morning when we were at the store if I would buy him one when we walked by the machine. Part of me says meh no big deal, the other part of me says maybe gambling is bad for a 4 year old LOL. It's a slippery slope you know, scratch-offs today, scotch on the rocks in the sippy tomorrow Wink

    I like you with long hair!  Yeah, not about your post, but wanted to tell you that.

    You look cute with it short, but I prefer long.

    I'm also projecting onto you because my hair was super long and I kept cutting it and cutting it and now I want it to grow.  Like, now.

    Le sigh. I know. It was so healthy and shiny too and I cut it, and I am kicking myself for it. I'm growing it out but it doesn't look as healthy anymore, plus I am getting these crazy baby hairs sprouting around my hairline that are not.cute.

    eta: oh and I posted to you in that thread too

    f*ck yeah.  I'm Catholic.  We come out of the womb ready for Bingo, scratch off tickets and pull tabs.

    Some of my fave memories are my grandma giving me $20 to go buy pull tabs at the school/church festival.

    Same same.

    I had bangs cut in because of the baby hairs along my front hairline.  Fun stuff.

    Winery- I kept cutting and cutting mine until it was super short. I decided to grow it and it's getting pretty long. Last night I asked DH who's bright idea it was to grow this hair out. It is hot! I am now thinking of cutting it short again. The only thing stopping me is the awful growing it out stage if I decide to grow it out again.

    And eclaires, your post cracked me up. It reminded me of my dad's side of the family. Gambling fools! Whenever there are a bunch of them in town, they all head to Bingo.

    EK, I hear that.  I'm already all over youtube for easy, messy updo's that aren't ponytails for the summer.

    But I'm determined to stick it out.  Don't cut it!!

    But it's so fricking thick! I have been going to my stylist for 12 years. She says I have the hair of 3 people. I cannot even put it in cute braded pigtales like Mccheese there. I'm think it will get cut before the summer is over.
