It Seemed Like A Good Idea At The Time

I think my middle son must have been about 4 years old, as he was still going to nursery school. I can remember looking at him for several days, and thinking to myself, that something looked mighty different, but I just couldn't put my finger on it . . . He was my fuzzy bear with Shirley Temple curls scattered all over his head. The kind of hair most girls would kill for. It wasn't until I went to wash his hair in the bath that I realized that he had cut off all his curls across the front of his head right down to the scalp . . . Thank goodness hair grows back. I think this is something most kids do at one time or another, if not to each other, then certainly to their dolls . . . (I had a very bald Barbie doll at one time . . . )
