“Opal! Hurry and come rescue Nelson”.

I knew that was coming— that the only hair cut my Dad would give me

After my 2 sons got in hi school, they would no longer let me cut their hair. They let it grow long but I told them I could fix that.

When my son was 16 I told him he had to keep his hair short if he wanted to use my car. He reminded me that Moses and Jesus both had long hair. I reminded him that Moses and Jesus walked everywhere.

I can’t wait to see the result, but why isn’t his own dad cutting his hair?

And it’s too late to escape… unless Nelson is okay with a stripe of short hair down the back. Sort of like a reverse mohawk. Poor Nelson. But he knows how his grandpa messes with his grandma every day, so he should’ve had a clue.

I would be interested in knowing whay Yukoner considers “short” these days. Back in 1968 during my freshman college year, my dad insisted I get a haircut because my hair was maybe a quarter inch over the top edge of my ears. I think a lot of people would consider that fairly short by today’s standards.

My sons came to me one day and asked that I cut my hair so they could grow theirs. (mine was shoulder length

It’ll grow back.

I had a girlfriend cut my hair once’ Hard to get a new girl with that lousy cut.

When we were kids in New York. We all had long hair like in Westside Story…( The Jets )

Dad always gave me the buzz.

Hair ?… what’s hair ?

I know what hair is….just wish I had some left SIGH

Supposedly if Grampa Earl gives Nelson a buzzcut, Nelson will grow his hair back normally. sheeshhh! :-/ Nelson, not to worry, you will have your hair growing back normally.

Nelson’s dad is absent and a flake.
