Haircuts
The children attend a school where, much to Gabe’s dismay, hair length is regulated. Gabe’s hair grows fast and thick and is almost always an unruly mess. The principal does not often talk to Gabe, but when she does it is most likely to say, “Get a haircut!”
When school finished last spring, I told the kids that they did not have to get their haircut at all during the summer. I also told Josiah that he did not have to shave. By the end of the summer, Josiah looked like a 25 year old hippie, and Gabe’s hair was a tad bit long.
Zeke actually loves to get a haircut, because he wants his hair to be “the sticky up kind,” and Abby wants to go more often than I am willing to pay.
The haircuts may have changed their look, but as the before and after shots attest, it doesn’t always change their attitude.
No comment!
