We’ve All Done It…

I remember doing it when I was a little girl. Down to the scalp as I remember my mother saying. I looked like a boy after the attempts to fix it.

Garrett was little as well. Snip, snip.

Anthony did it during class one day last year at school. Thought we would not notice. Right on the side of his head. I can see him now. Hum, scissors in my hands. No one is looking. Why not?

And we noticed!

And Luke did it in the last few months. Right on top of his head. To the scalp. It is still growing back. But his longer hair covers it up… so not so bad.

But last night, that Nicholas… he is a piece of work.

I am working on blog stuff and Lenny is working on preparing a few business quotes.

I hear Nick in the other room. The sound of repeated snipping scissors. I really thought he was cutting paper. You have to understand, with two big kids in school and just being a mom period, we have scissors galore in this house. Try as we may to keep them put up, or insist they are only used in the kitchen at the table with supervision, it just does not always happen. They scout them out!

I hear Nick say, ‘Luke does my hair look good’?

NO!!! Please no!

I get in the other room and is hair all over the floor. Those four snips took out a whole patch of hair!

When asked why he cut his hair….

‘Because I needed a haircut! ‘

Such a matter of fact child.

He would not let me take a picture. I had to sneak it a day later as he was doing crafts with me at the kitchen table.

And have I mentioned, I love dirty face little boys!
