Can you have a pre teen at age 8?

My oldest got his hair cut this week - it was starting to grow into his eyes and that just won't do. So off to see Rebecca we went. He came out with a teenager hair cut - all spiked up in the front and he thought he looked pretty good (and he did) and was full of his own vanity for an entire night.

This morning I hear a call from the bathroom - "MOM help!". I walked in to see that he had used his dad's styling cream in the front of his hair and he used A LOT. It was like glue in there. I asked "WHAT were you thinking?". He replied "I wanted to stud it up in the front but I didn't know how."

sigh.

double sigh

Stud it up?

cover my eyes and sigh

So I told him that I would show him how to do that tomorrow but for today we had to wash it out (or chip it out with a chisel)

Can he be a pre teen at age 8?

So not ready for this
