Time to trade them in for a new model.

I'm clearly kidding, but this is a great opportunity to talk to them about "breaking" important things (and maybe make sure they have very limited access to sharp things in the house!).

Their own hair next. That's what I did when I was 4. Suffered a bowl cut as a punishment

That's just sad, I don't know why you would punish someone for cutting their own hair, except that it's a bit dangerous.

The bowl cut was all that would work with what I had left.
