Grievance

Why is the rat tail still a thing? I was under the presumption that rat tails had died alongside mushroom cuts toward the new millenium when I left grammar school. At least three kids within the 2nd-3rd grade range have said rat tail. I suppose that all boys must go through a rat tail/mushroom cut period of elementary school before graduating to the current "shaggy head" look or the traditional "ski slope" hairstyle that the 6th-8th grade boys all seem to have. It is a shame that bad hair seems to be a right of passage everyone needs to go through at some point.

Ironically, the father of two of the rat-tailled children (twins) just came to the office to pick them up. I must give them credit because their rat tails are in addition to mohawks.
