Homemade Haircuts (do they ever work)


So this is what Drayden looks like after his older sister decides to cut his hair so he can have a spiked hair cut. Brookelynn refers to it as a "silly" haircut. Apparently she has decided that her brother not only needs his hair cut, but she wants it to spiked and out of control ... the new name ... "silly haircuts".

So fond memories come rushing back of the summer days when we used to be sent to Mannor Woods swimming pool like a bunch of well tanned pool rats. In fact that name, despite the negative connotation, has never been anything but a term of endearment to me. Why do I bring this up, because, there are three things I think of when I see kids with homemade hair cuts. All of which are things April wishes that not only would she forget, but that her siblings would forget as well. But alas, these three things are burned in my mind, and while all three of these experiences revolve around April's hair, only one is pertinent to today’s topic.

April, can any of us ever forget the summer Chris in her conniving way convinced you to let her cut your hair. Could anything have gone any worse than to have your hair totally shaved down and be mistaken for a boy the entire summer after Chris totally butchered your bangs? How you let her live after she had ultimately ruined your self esteem is completely beyond me. And the scars still exist even until today. So go ahead, wear those scars with pride April, they are a badge of honor and courage. And if all you can manage to do after reading this is get teary eyed remembering it, then go ahead, cry, let it out April, after all, it wasn't your fault. But the mailman following you home was!

OH MY GOSH!!! LOL... Too bad the first thing I thought about was my buzzed head when I saw that pic of Dray... Need I remind you that he is a boy and you can just buzz his head... not really all that tramatic for him... Mom is reminding me as I type about the time you cut your own hair with her fikars... you had a patch missing off the top and off the side. Mom said that was also how you quit twisting your hair at night. Also, need I remind you all that mom told Chris that if she cut anyones hair again that she was going to have a matching haircut.... notice how she NEVER cut another persons hair... JERKS!!!! Laugh it up!!! She just wanted to cut my bangs... Little did I know I had bangs in the back of my head!!! I HATE YOU ALL!!! And about the mailman... LAUGH IT UP!!! HAHAHA!!! you so funny!!! Mr. Kemp loved me the best!!
