Cutting my punk's hair is akin to bathing an alley cat with one hand tied behind your back. There is much thrashing about and even more ear splitting wails about the unfairness of it all. However, he is in desperate need of a haircut, and he HATES HATES HATES going to the hairdresser. He's been begging me to cut it myself, and like a moron I thought, of course! I can totally cut his hair on my own, how hard can it be? His really thick, somewhat unruly, double cow lick sporting hair. Did I mention how much he hates going to the hairdresser? Heh.
I did it. I went to good old Walmart and bought a nice set of clippers (why not get the nice ones, right...I'm sure I'll be really good at this!) and brought them home to start the clippin'. My home is now covered in enough microscopic scratchy hair pieces to knit a 8x11' HAIR CARPET. Argh! Keep your fingers crossed that the haircut came out okay...I wouldn't know since he fell asleep immediately after his life-threatening trim and currently all of his hair is sticking straight up on his pillow. Yikes.
udated: Yeah...turns out I'm not real good at cutting hair. Back to the drawing board...

Hehe. Next time get the bowl! bring back the 90s haircut :P Sorry about all the hair.
ph: thanks...at this rate he'll be ready for another haircut before I get it all picked up!
Well, ahem, do we get to see a photo of the 'do, or what?
serahrose, I was thinking the same thing! No photo? Have you tried taking him to a barber shop? There is one we've been to that is very manly. It has the striped pole outside, big leather barber chairs, old military photos on the walls and one of the barbers is pushing 90. I wonder what Lucas would think about that?
I'd post a picture but the haircut didn't come out very well!! hehehe
oh well...maybe I'll do better next time! ;)
