School is out and the days are getting warmer and with that comes shorter hair. The boys pester me to cut their hair when it gets hot and I often put it off. But the truth is... I enjoy it. It is one of the only times now that they will sit still and let me touch them. I have always given them haircuts, outside sometimes but mostly in the kitchen. They sit on a stool and I get to play beauty shop. Without girls in the house, that is a special treat. Mostly, I enjoy it because it reminds me of when they were little and would get a sucker or a piece of gum to sit still and end up with hair covered candy. Not that they cared! They are boys, they will put anything in their mouths! I do hope that when they are grown they will come home and ask for a kitchen cut.
I always use to cut Rob's hair, too... and Warren's for 48 years now. and I know what you mean. Cutting someone's hair is very personal.
