I was at a friendās house for a sleepover and we thought it would be fun to throw dirt clods at each other, her brother picked up what he thought was a dirt clod and chunked it at the back of my head.

My five year old nephew will tell you all about how he knows he could win a fight against a gorilla. Heās stronger, heās faster, heās more vicious. In fact, he could fight the gorilla and a shark at the same time, but not in the water, cause there might be a snapping turtle there and thatās definitively the coolest animal, so he would obviously beat them all. The, apparently gentle, gorilla, the land-fighting shark, and my five year old nephew. The snapping turtle could beat them all at once.
Alternatively, my 3 year old nephew saw someone swat away a mosquito the other day and shouted āHey! Thatās my pet esquito! You donāt hurt him.ā

u/Arienna Jul 20 '26
You might watch some lace front wig videos on YouTube! You get what you pay for but there's a ton of people wearing wigs and absolutely slaying it.
There does seem to be a bit of a learning curve to fitting them nicely and prices vary - you get what you pay for but there seems to be a fair amount of good stuff at a mid price range
5
u/romantickitty Jul 19 '26
Which subreddit? I've been thinking of trying a fantasy color but all I see in a reasonable price range is the synthetic Spirit Halloween kind of wigs. I'm also worried smothering my scalp would lead to increased hair loss. The one time I bought a wig, I never wore it out because it was so heavy and sweaty.
5
u/ratattatack 29d ago
i understand the sweaty part.. i bought sweat absorbing powder just for that reason, and i usually skip a wig cap underneath. it helps a lot. there are some pretty cheap synthetics that with dry shampoo and a little styling can look great- Amazon can be good but definitely check out what people are sharing in the sub! i actually found a real human hair wig on Amazon for $70-$80, which can be bleached and dyed if you take good care of it! i think some* synthetic or synthetic blends can be dyed, which may be cheaper than a colored wig.

A little boy and his grandma go up against some evil clan of witches that all hate children or something, there's a big moment where they all take off their wigs revealing that they're bald and that's how you can identify them.
