So I went yesterday to get a haircut. I had a meeting last night, so I didn’t see the kids before they went to bed. They woke up this morning and I was fixing their breakfast when Joshua asked, “Dad, did you get a haircut?”
“Yes,” I said.
“I don’t like it.”
I looked up at him, kind of perplexed. Before I had the chance to respond, Abby Kate piped up. “Well,” she said, “I think it looks really good.” That’s my girl, I thought. Sticking up for your old man. But Joshua decided to plead his case further.
“No, it looked better the other way. Now it just looks goofy.”
Goofy? My hair looks goofy? I was about to speak up when my daughter came to my defense again, at least so I thought.
Abby Kate said, “No, it looked goofy before he got it cut. Now it looks good.”
At that point I’d had enough of my coiffure being the topic of discussion, so I just walked back to the bedroom. Fix your own Honey Nut Cheerios, kids. Next time this happens, look out.
already & not yet 
I think that it is funny that the two of them carried on their own little conversation about you and your hair. It was like your weren’t even in the room.
That’s funny…goofy. Kids are so observant! Here’s my question though…Does it look different than it normally does?
How about this one.
Sunny,This is probably just a precursor to the way it’ll be when they decide to put me in a home someday!Jamey,That’s the thing. I don’t think my hair looks any more or less “goofy” than usual. I just wonder what they’ll think when I finally go bald. Mike,That’s a good one. “Pecked out by ravens”…I like it.
Hey Jason- if it make you feel better, one of my younger children said to me this morning, “Mom, you are really getting sooooo big- I can’t fit into your bed anymore. There is no room for me”:)Angela Wallace
Kids can say some pretty funny things, right Angela?
They do! I love them so much! I wish I had written them all down- b/c I forget. 2 yr old Frankie- "driving Santa's sleigh"(the arm of our couch in TN.) said "my reindeer won't go- I need some jump cables"- you can guess that I had left my car lights on frequently in the weeks prior to that>LOL
