First Haircut --Brought to you by Ineptitude

I'd had it with the mullet.
So we went to get it trimmed. The lady clipped off a tiny lock as a keepsake.

I said "I want a regular, short little boy haircut." She trimmed up the mullet. And I insisted she trim the top a little. I kept saying "I want it.....layered....or whatever it is you do with boy haircuts." And she kept not doing much with it.
"How about evening up the top...", I said. She cut a little more. But not much. He looks the same except the mullet is gone. It wasn't a major transformation.
And somehow during all this, she bumped into her ledge and knocked the keepsake lock to the floor. And we couldn't find it. So I scraped up a few teeny scraps from my lap and stuffed them in the envelope.

Did you have to invoke Pete Farnholtz?

You have such interesting haircut stories!

Oh, that's so sad. But I never know what to tell them with boys haircuts. I still haven't figured out if they're using clippers or not, certainly not what size they are.

Oh NOOOO! Not the lock of hair! Even NOW, when my girls are way too old to worry about it, I still keep a lock of hair everytime they get it cut.

Jen--You keep a lock every time? Holy CRAP. Please don't turn into a crazy lady with a garbage bag full of hair clippings in the closet....

(But if you do, I won't judge you.)
