Husband Clothes

This might scare you a lot. If it does, imagine how I felt as the mother of this poor boy. (Let me mention beforehand that throughout the month following this “haircut,” my son didn’t know anything was wrong because everyone around him was EXTREMELY nice and attentive. It was a pity thing. They thought my son either had strange parents, was really ill, or something of this nature).

Basically my husband was dying to give my son a CREW CUT and finally talked me into it. I’m not sure why this was so important to him. My husband is not in the military, so that’s not it. I love the crew cut look–that would have been great! However, take a look at the two photos below: 1) son with normal hair, then 2) son with “crew cut.”

I’m not sure why or how this happened, but quick question: DOES THAT LOOK LIKE A CREW CUT TO YOU? What I am sure about, though, is that people (as in STRANGERS) would GASP when they saw my son in public. This lasted for 2 entire weeks. By the third week, the hair began to grow back, but people still gave us pity looks for a long time.

I can also add proudly (hahahah, so funny) that my husband must have learned from this experience because it happened 4 years ago, and he has never mentioned cutting the boys’ hair again. (Oh, and yes, he definitely knew it looked horrible and felt very bad. Had he not realized there was a problem, this site would not exist because I would have done a very quicky type divorce, “you take everything honey, I’ll save the kids” type thing.)
