Closure on the saga of
tater tot, the precious little snowflake that didn't want to cut his hair. How does his mother find a way for him to assimilate so he can go back to school?
braids.Elizabeth Taylor says her son's hair is just as long as ever, but now she's styled it in a double French braid pinned up at the base of his neck. The school principal approved the style.
The boy, who prefers the nickname "Tater Tot," typically wears his hair long and had been sequestered from classmates at Floyd Elementary School in Balch Springs since late November.
The long hair violates the Mesquite school district dress code, which says boys' hair must be kept out of the eyes and cannot extend below the bottom of earlobes or over the collar of a dress shirt.
What a lovely lesson for a four year old. Remember, Tater Tot, you don't have to obey the rules if you don't want to.
