The (ahem) haircut.

J. cut his hair at school on Thursday.
Just a hearty snip right in the front after he finished a project that everyone else was still working on.
He works faster than all his classmates, which is reason #1184 that we call him "turbo,"
so he has been having a lot of free time in his class.
Idle hands are truly the work of the devil.
He decided he needed a trim.
It wasn't terribly noticeable... the kid has boo-koos of hair, just a little snip was not gonna change his overall look.
But he said the reason he did it was because his hair was 'too long'.
I thought "a little prevention goes a long way" so I decided to give him a haircut for reals...
Maybe with his new shorter 'do it would balance out the whack he made to his scalp in that little spot.

I said all this to say, as I buzzed off layer upon layer of hair, the snip became more and more noticeable.
I should have left it longer so it could have covered the chunk of missing hair.
Now it just looks like ringworms or something.

he's still very dashing though.
what a brat!

#2 son did this last year and I did the same thing--buzz cut.

FYI: It's "beaucoup" of hair. French for "many" or "much".

I know--I'm a spelling Nazi. Sorry. This is reason #1182 why I have so few friends.

My daughter cut her hair once when she was 3 - It was really long and she chopped it really short on both sides, just leaving a long strip hanging in the back. She knew she was in trouble so she stuffed the hair under the bed! (She eventually had to tell me where it was.) Her beautiful long hair was gone!. I cried, she cried and even her daddy cried - then we went to the beauty shop and made here beautiful again only with "short" hair! Thank God, hair grows!
