This child actually got the scissors out to remedy the situation, but eventually (after cutting off a few hunks) decided that Mom had better get in on the fun.
The first thing Mom did of course, was to grab the camera. His reaction was somewhat appropriate.
Yep, that would be about 25 burrs stuck into his lovely, curly hair (that looks oh-so-attractive here.)
The good news is that Mom knew exactly what to do. But only because a few days earlier, she too was caught several times with burrs stuck into her ponytail and bangs.
For future reference: do not pull the burr. That will only tangle things more. Pull the hair close to the roots, and it will gently slide right out of the burr. Eventually, enough will come loose and the burr will come free with little to no hair loss. Scissors are not a solution.

There's no need to ask how a little boy got a head full of burrs, but how did YOU?
I was rolling in the hay. LOL Kidding!!! I was trying to clear out dead branches, weeds and burrs from behind the barn - those things are sneaky!
I would like to see a picture of the burrs in YOUR head ...
Those picture are classic! Thanks for the burr removal tips. Not sure when I may need them, but one never knows.
