Many of you will know that Paul hates getting his hair cut. He hates that he has to give up some of his free time to a chore, and he especially hates that he has to pay money on top of that. So he puts it off as long as possible. And then he delays another 4-6 weeks until his hair looks like this:
You can't really tell from the photo, but his hair is so long that he has combed it sideways behind his ears. It was past his nose if he didn't slick it back. That was Paul's company Christmas party. I had been increasingly vocal about Paul's hair and threatened to cut it myself. He upped the ante by encouraging me to do it. So the rhetoric escalated until I did. And it looked awful in a way words cannot describe. Here's a picture of the best-looking part: the front.
There was nothing even, level, or aesthetically pleasing about it. It was so bad that even he conceded to go to Great Clips and get it fixed. I don't know how the girl did it, but she even managed to erase a nick which I thought was too deep to fix. Here's a picture after it was fixed:
That's not the best photo, since it's a bit blurry and it was raining, but you can see she had to take it very short. Still, I think important lessons--even perhaps life lessons--were learned all over the place.

Hmm... so maybe Bryan is wise for refusing to let me try cutting his hair? :) At least I can still practice on Jonathan, right? :)
Bryan is often wise. :) I think things would have gone better if Paul's hair wasn't so long to begin with. I'll try it again in a few weeks.
A few weeks? Maybe a few months! :)
I guess it is pretty short.
Since he didn't want to pay, he can just deal with the results--and the price of getting it fixed.
Besides, he looks cute with it really short. And as long as you still love him, then all is well.
Hope you had a great Christmas. We love you.
