We are in so much trouble with this kid! This morning he was looking in the mirror at himself and he started saying over and over in a sing-song manner, "My curls are growing back! My curls are growing back!" Seriously, all of that wasn't necessary, since we didn't cut that many off. This prompted a discussion about getting his hair cut short - a conversation that I start frequently. I am the one that has to take the water bottle and wet it down. Once I've done that, then I have to go back and spray it with gel. After that, I have to take the mountain of curls and mold it into something that looks nice. I don't think that a 9 year old boy's hair should take so much effort. I am always trying to talk him into getting it buzzed, so that he can comb it himself. He always says that is a good idea and then chickens out at the last minute. Once again, he committed to getting his hair cut short.
I knew that Jonathan liked his curls, but had no idea how vain he has become. After I had his hair sufficiently gelled, he leaned close to the mirror and said, "don't my curls look good with my blue eyes?" Oh me, oh my! What am I going to do with that child? Some how I don't think we'll be getting that buzz cut.
