As school closures popped up across the globe during the quarantine, it’s been up to parents to be responsible for homeschooling their children during this new normal. While most aren’t exactly excited about this additional task, parents have the unique opportunity to teach their children valuable skills they wouldn’t be able to normally learn in school, like cooking a meal, budgeting for the week, or how to do laundry.
Taika Waititi had this same thought. While doing their daily homeschooling, the Jojo Rabbit director decided to teach his children a crucial skill for this time in history — how to cut your hair at home. Their model to practice on? Him. “It’s fun. For about 10 minutes,” he wrote on his Instagram post that documented the impending disaster. He continued, “And in the end you have no choice but to get rid of everything.” And with that, his signature swoop was gone. But, hey, he got a haircut. That’s more than the rest of us can say. It was free, too… well, we assume. Unless he was also teaching the kids about supply and demand that day.
