haircuts: my evil plan

and now Suzanne has something to say about Dandy :: kid pics :: my Gift from a generous God

The Gift really needs a haircut. Here is my plan.

First I bought a home haircut kit.

Then I learned to use my new home haircut kit on my formerly handsome but ever-good-natured son.

I then showed the formerly handsome Dandy to the Shaggy-Haired Gift, saying, "I'll be happy to cut your hair for you after work tomorrow."

I'm obviously expecting that he will get a proper cut on the way home. If not, I did warn him and even if I botch his as badly as I did Dandy's, it couldn't look worse than it does now.

3 much appreciated comments:

Elle said...: I used to cut the trusty husband's hair all the time. We couldn't afford haircuts. I too bought a clipper set and got to work. I didn't botch it too bad the first time. The trick is to use the shortest cutting combs on the back and sides and the longer cutting ones on the top. The hard part is blending the two together lest you get a bowl cut.

Or you could do what I did to the boy for the longest time and shave the whole thing and leave long bangs. Oh baby orphanage!; April 10, 2007 at 4:26 PM
AEmom said...: I did the same thing to Aidan. Now he's 13, and refuses to have me cut his hair anymore. So its off to Supercuts for us!; April 10, 2007 at 8:26 PM
mommyto5 said...: Too funny I cut my boys hair too, dh cuts his own and mine:), I still always accidently cut the boys shorter than I like just trying to even out my mistakes:( Your ds is such a cutie pie no matter how you cut his hair, he looks happy!; April 10, 2007 at 9:25 PM

Here I chatter about books, parenting, election 2008, recipes, teaching college writing, and the adventures of getting settled in with our two freshly (Fall 06) adopted school-age children from Russia. This blog is chapter two; chapter one is posted at Jamie & Suzanne go to Russia. I live in the City of Subdued Excitement, Cascadia, Land of the Free.

I am the wife of a man I call My Gift from a Generous God. I am mama to two lovely children, Dandy and Chickadee that became ours in September 2006 in a court-room in Siberia. I am the daughter of two people whom I love and admire. One of them, my dad, is a new (Dec 06) paraplegic.

In my previous life (B.C. - before children), I was a college English teacher, specializing in composition and ESL composition.
