So what does a five-year-old do when he doesn't like his bangs and a pair of scissors happen to be close by? Well, he trims it up himself without the aid of a mirror. Yup, that's right, Luke cut his own hair.

Take a close look at the photo of Luke on the left, and you can see how he is missing a huge chunk of hair on the right side of his head.

He was missing so much hair nothing could be done except to cut it high and tight!

So Lukie got his first buzz cut, as you can tell by the photo on the right.

Thank goodness his likes the way it looks!
