This is in the outdoors category because we'd hate the neighbors to miss one of Austin's haircuts. It is shared with those who are within a five house distance.
I was so glad his sister was at her friends.
It was miserable.
His dad had the weapons prepared: Wahl clippers, barber scissors, trimmers.
He was screaming and kicking most of the time, thrashing.
So was our son.
His dad tenses up with his shoulders in his ears and his teeth in the locked
position.
It was AWFUL!
This went on for 10 very long minutes. It was prolonged by our son screaming like a Tasmanian Devil in my ears, writhing, arching and kicking. We held him firmly with as much love as we had left. I tried to work up giggles at his expense to help alleviate.
I started asking him distracting questions.
This worked..
for 30 seconds.
It was finally over.
He slipped off my lap, brushed himself off and escaped into the bathroom.
Then, the little sh*t - after coming out of the bathroom - he says,
"Wow, I look handsome! I look
REALLY good!" with the biggest grin on his face. He stared at us up and down as if to say, "You look a mess!"
I was covered in hair, snot, tears.
I bet you're sad you missed it.
