Rebel Boy Comes Clean

Lucas, boy of a thousand hairstyles got a trim over the weekend. We had an agreement that as long as he kept his grades up, he could do anything he wanted with his hair. Trouble is, though he’s doing *really* well in school right now, (yay!), he ended up looking like this:

“Hey duuuude, is it 4:20 yet?”

You can see the underlying cuteness underneath that mop, but it’s buried! So he agreed to get a cut. And we didn’t even have to tie him up and drag him to the salon. Though there were threats.

Oh, and it was a salon. Beauty Palor. Whatever. Salon Zazou. Yes, it was *that* pretentious a place. Reha was busy so I got the honor. I don’t think I’ve ever felt more out of place. A) I have NO need of places like that anymore, what with the not having any hair anymore. B) Lots of gay guys. Which is not to say that there is anything wrong with that at all, but I was there with my entire brood of kids. Chasing them. Yelling at them. Putting out the fire Jonah started when he dropped a curling iron in a wastebasket. Caveman Jon grunt twice and say, “Male-breeder-no-hair feel out of place here.”

But the nice lady who cut his hair did a *fabulous* job. Fabu!

“If I were a kitten or puppy, this photo of me would probably get uploaded to Cute Overload, don’t you agree?”

1. Is it just me, or does he have a scary resemblance to the kid in E.T.?  (not ET himself… darnit.. I meant Elliot!)

   Man it’s uncanny!

2. I think you are right. It’s the freckle-ly nose. :-]

   “El-li-ot!”

   Now I’m all weepy thinking about E.T. leaving at the end of that movie.

   *sniff*

3. I’ve got a neighbor kid about Elliot, ur, um, Lucas’ age that looks like he’s in the Ramones. I guess, shaggy is in.

5. Whoa...quite the transformation.  I used to have long hair like that too...into my 20’s.  I won’t go there again...however I do wish I was in my 20’s again.

Holy Crap! Look at all this STUFF down here. It's awesome!

 

Really, I'm glad you made it down here. Almost no one ever comes down here. I'm like in a freaking dungeon down here. I get lonely. But not you. YOU made it all the way to the end of the page. For this I think I've a little crush on you. I don't know, is "love" to strong a word to use in this situation? Well, if it's not "love," then it's very strong "like." I'm totally in like with you for coming down here. You are awesome. Please love me back! I know, I know, I shouldn't be all needy, it's not attractive at all, but you don't know how it is to be stuck down here. Who scrolls all the way to the end of a page anymore these days? Anyway, thanks for shedding some light down here in the depths. I appreciate it. Shoot me an email and I'll send you a dollar, OK?
