Haircuts
November 22nd, 2008 by lyonsden
Someday, when we’re rich, I won’t cut hair any more. Until then, every few months I pull out the clippers and torture my boys by cutting their hair. Actually, it’s as much torture for me as it is for them, but they don’t believe that any more than the old line: “This hurts me more than it hurts you.” I’m really not good at cutting hair, and I’m always tired and relieved when the job is done. Then I spend the next day or two peering at the boys’ hair, examining stray bits and muttering and snipping and reminding myself how much money I saved by cutting their hair myself. Someday, that money will be spent very gladly by me, and will be considered money well spent.

Hi Christie!
I can sympathize with your hair cutting days. I used to have a hard time getting Jonathan to sit still, because it would take me so long to cut his hair. I told him to pretend that he was a statue, like in The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. He was probably picturing me as the white witch.
One day, I accidently grabbed the cup that I was dipping the comb in, and took a sip. Yuck!
You are saving lots of money for your family.
Hope your week is going well! love, Kay
