The other day I asked CootieBoy if I could cut his hair.
“NOOOOO!!!!” he hollered.
“Dude, it’s really long – you should let me cut it.”
“NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!” he hollered.
“So what are you saying – do you want to grow it long ’til you look like a girl?”
“YYYYYEEEEESSSSSS!!!!!!!”
“Okay fine. We won’t touch your hair until we go to the beach in May. But when we go to the beach in May you HAVE to get a haircut. I’m not letting some hippie child show up at my cousin’s wedding.”
“Okay.”
Funny, I’ve had that exact conversation with my 12 yr old a few times this month!
