He never has been subtle

Pop Up just came in and said:

"If I had $12 today, what do you think I'd spend it on???"

Me (clueless): "I don't know. What?"

Him (bellowing): "A HAIRCUT!!!!!!" and with that he made a disgusted face and did an about-face into the other room. Hmmm, and here I was going to guess Legos.

He HATES when his hair gets long enough to touch his ears. I can only HOPE his fettish lasts long into his teen years. And while I'm at it, let's pray he always hates that "pants hanging around your knees" teenage fashion statement. So far, so good.

LOL -- I just sent him to wash his hair so the barber will have something better to work with and he said "See this little flap? It's curling into my ear ... pretty soon it will be touching my drum!!" He always has had a flair for drama.

FYI ... lest you think I'm some sort of neglectful parent ..... his hair is currently about as long as it is in his solo picture on the sidebar to the right. He just likes it short. I should just give him a crew cut and save the aforementioned $12, but I can't stand the thought of losing all that beautiful red hair. Which is probably WHY he wants it short, now that I think about it - all the little old ladies are always pawing him and "oohing" and "aahing" over it. Poor guy. He hates that.
