Karma

My cute sister-in-law called me last night and we talked about what a horrible day she had the day before. Long story short, she has 3 kids under 6 and all within a day she had a whole bottle of liquid Tide dumped on the floor, a freshly baked and frosted cake smeared all over the fridge and cupboards and to top it off her cute little 4 year old, that is just recovering from last years "HAIR escapade", just cut off most of her hair while Amy was in the shower! So after the tears, came the laughter, and I was telling her I totally remember those days, and although Tylie did cut her bangs once, it was never really that bad. And at least Teigen never did, because his hair is what we all LOVED about him as a baby. His hair is what he was known by. Most people couldn't pronounce his name, so they all referred to him as "The cute little boy with the curly hair" Those long blond curls were the topic of conversation on a daily basis. No matter where we went people always had to stop me and touch it or comment on it! He got his thick curly hair from his mama. People used to stop my mom when I was little and she even used to get asked if my hair was a wig! And in kindergarten I got lice, because everyone played with my hair! NICE I know! That was the end of that! And my mom loves to remind me, even I, (the perfect child) played barber shop. I had a friend who's mom was a beautician, and she gave my long thick red hair a nice short cut! It actually wasn't that bad, from what I remember. And we were the cleanest little beauticians you had ever seen. After we were done we even swept it up and put it all in the garbage can! We were so proud of ourselves, and couldn't understand why our mom's weren't quite so PROUD! And then there's my sister who cut Stetson's hair, forgetting Skylar had just shaved his head with those same clippers, and within an instant she realized there was no turning back after she took one big swipe of his beautiful blond hair, that also took a LONG time to grow in! So last night I let Amy know, that unfortunately it happens to the best of us. And as we discussed the pure joys of motherhood, I let her know how much easier and less chaotic it gets as they get older.

So think of the shock on my face tonight when my 8 year old (Yes that would be Teigen), comes in and says, "Mom I had to cut my hair it was just bugging me"! So as calm as I could be, I asked him to show me, and although this may not look like much to you all....... he not only cut his hair, he took daddy's electric RAZOR to it! And as thick as his hair is now, the only way to fix it, is to pretty much shave it all off! Or at least the sides, and maybe we can still salvage some curls on top! So the moral of my story is..... Never say Never!!! All we could do was laugh, and that just made it worse, because we all know Teigen hates it when you laugh at him! So Thanks for the earlier poll on his hair. I did take the overwhelming advice to grow it out.... and well let's just say, that lasted long!!! The picture really does not do it justice, but the other side is even worse!!!
