Mom Don t touch the scissors 6 year old
This image shows a guinea pig with a very peculiar and amusing haircut that resembles a poorly done fringe likely done by someone with little to no skill in cutting hair. The guinea pig’s fur is generally light in color, with the area around the face and the fringe being distinctly lighter, probably as a result of the "haircut." The guinea pig is sitting on a surface with a polka-dot pattern, which gives the photo a lighthearted and domestic feeling.
The text above the image sets up the scene. It reads "Mom: Don’t touch the scissors" followed by "6 year old me, later that day:" suggesting that the image below is the result of the six-year-old's disobedience. The juxtaposition of the cautionary words and the resulting image implies a humorous and relatable "misadventure" that many people might recall from their own childhood.
The humor in the image arises from several factors. Firstly, there's the relatability of childhood mischief and the universal memory many have of being instructed not to do something, only to proceed and do exactly that with comically disastrous results. The image blatantly showcases the outcome of such an act—giving a guinea pig an impromptu haircut, likely with the forbidden scissors.
Additionally, humorous anthropomorphism is at play—attributing human characteristics to animals. The guinea pig’s hairstyle being depicted as a result of a child playing barber is an amusing and whimsical notion. It Mom Don t touch the scissors 6 year old me later that day
