Opus 2016-179: Firsts: Haircuts

I remember the day that we took my son to the barber for the first time.  I think we have pictures.

Now he has turned the tables.  We had a big family event and my wife wanted my hair to look good.  Since we were out of town she did not trust any barber to do the job right so she said my son, who cuts his own hair with a cool kit he bought on line, should trim me up and make me look good.  Since I only look at my hair once each day, I was fine with that.

So for the first time my son cut my hair.  It set me to thinking that this could be a pattern for when I am so old I can’t get to a barber or they won’t allow me out in public.

It came out fine, this time.  I am sorry that we don’t have any pictures to commemorate the event.

    1. And as an elderly parent I know the feeling of sharing that knowledge with my children. It is best done in public when it might embarrass them.

      Grace and peace.
