So late last night my son called me from my mother’s house cause that’s where he’s at right now and he asked me if it was okay if my sister cut his hair. Before I go any further I must elaborate on my sister. She is mentally handicapped, which is to say that she is very slow, and the only hair cutting she knows how to do is to shave completely bald, and even that needs to be fixed usually. But anyway, I explained to him that if she cuts his hair, he will have to start school with a bald head looking like a skinhead. He says to me, I want my head shaved, I like it. So I told him to go ahead if he wants to. He’s 8, it’s his head. If he wants to look foolish, then he can look foolish. Besides it’ll grow back out soon enough. I just can’t believe he’d actually want my sister to cut his hair off. It makes me wonder what my mother is slipping in his food.
