Parents reading this will be all too familiar when their kids go ahead and do something a bit drastic without passing it by them first, so spare a thought for this Perthshire mum.

Teenager Ryan Fair has been doing the rounds online this week after he lost a bet, completely shaved his head, sent an image of his bald napper to his mum - who then went slightly mental at him.

Ryan shared the brilliant exchange on his Twitter page.

Screenshots of text messages show the 16-year-old looking rather chuffed with himself in a selfie sent to his mum with his new look, complete with shaved eyebrows.

Glasgow Times:

“Sorry mum I lost a bet x” is how it all started. The rest - as they say - is history as Mum went on a bit of a tirade.

“I will actually f****n kill you,” she replied.

She added :”I swear to god Ryan you can move out.

“Thought you were at work!!

“I’m actually crying.”

Ryan’s efforts to console her only added fuel onto an already raging fire when he told her: “No the end of the world.”

Big mistake, Ryan.

Mum hit back: “How are you meant to get a job now ryan”” You look like a total loser.

“You actual idiot!!!”

Even when Ryan assured her that “plenty people have skin heads,” even reminding her that “Jamie is bald,” she hit back: “Disgusting.”

For those who wondered why Mum was so raging, Ryan posted an image of what his curly locks looked like before when asked by one commenter.

Glasgow Times:

The post has amassed an impressive 13,000 reactions in just four days with the comments and shares still coming.

We hope his mum has calmed down now, although we’re looking forward to seeing what surprises Ryan has up his sleeve in the near future.
