In control


Last night E. was invited to go out to dinner with my aunt and uncle and his 2nd cousin. They went to Happy Jing's, the local Chinese food joint. During the meal E. and Uncle P. had a heart to heart. I have gotten word that this is how the conversation went:

Uncle P: "So, E., who gave you that haircut?"
E. : *sigh* "My mom"
Uncle P: "Did you want your hair cut like that?"
E. : "No."
Uncle P: "So why did she give you that haircut?"
E. : looks down and with hands on either side of his head he shakes his head and laments "I just can't control her..."

(In my defense... I admit I may be too controlling at times- what mom isn't?- but the buzz was plan b when my less than optimal hair cutting skills failed. We'll go to the barber next time, okay E. ?)

maggie loves the hair salon, even though she's only been twice. in fact, the only way i can get her to do let me do her hair in the morning is to play "hair salon". she pretends to call me on the phone and says, "hair salon, are you open? i need you to do my hair".

i love kids.

wow, such funny stories! You can always count on Uncle P for those heart-to-hearts! I think the buzz looks good, but his longer hair is very handsome too!

Kat, that's cute of Maggie too. Can I call you to do my hair too?

Hey Ethan -
It's GPaR, I LIKE your haircut. It reminds me of Daniel Craig (aka JAMES BOND - 007 in CASINO ROYALE). Short hair is in. Got mine whacked last Saturday too! The girls at Church liked it. Keep smiling...
