Nahh, payback will be when Pasquale is a teenager.

A buzz cut isn’t bad if you don’t have long hairs sticking out of it like that.

no, when he asks his dad how long it takes before you know for certain your girlfriend/his boss’s daughter is pregnant.

At least she didn’t laugh at you. That’s good.

My father used to say the only difference between a bad haircut and a good one is two weeks.

My Dad never admitted to giving a bad haircut. But he only knew one “style.” A brushcut. Cured him of that when I was sent to the barber shop at about age 11. Told the barber to give me a “Marine” haircut. He did. The next time I was sent, I was told specifically to get a brush-cut. I came home with something a little longer, something that would just comb over. Dad tried to “correct” that, but I could run a bit faster than he. Now, 50 years later, I’m hoping that all of it on top falls out, instead of leaving me the wisps still there. And I fervrently wish that what I lose on top wouldn’t navigate to my ears and nose! Is there any dipilitory mild enough for those areas? Anybody?

This is fine for the hallway, but what about when you get to class or the lunchroom?

He could wear Peekaboo.

The coast is clear, but there’s a storm coming!

It’s good to know he has a friend to help him deal with the hallways, but when he gets into the classroom, I fear there’s very little she can do.

It was about 20-something years ago when one of my younger cousins received a (dare I say) “haircut” from one of our older relatives. If I was able to show Pasquale a picture of that result, I’m sure he’d feel much better about his own haircut.P.S. Names of mentioned relatives have been omitted to protect the innocent…and the guilty.

Here is the answer to my little barbershops tale from yesterday. Remember, it was a small town with only two barbershops. One was a pig sty of a place and the barber had a lousy hair style. The other barbershop was neat and clean and the barber had a real elegant hairstyle. But the visiting man went back to the dirty barbershop. Why? The answer is: since there were only two barbers in town, they both cut and styled each other’s hair. So the barber with the terrible hair cut used the other barber who was a lousy barber in spite of being so orderly.

My daughter once got some sizzors as a toddler and cut off swaths of her long beautiful hair … for fun. We took her to a kid’s stylist who layered out the rest and actually made her very cute with a page style cut. Some stylists are worth their weight in gold – tip appropriately.
