a cut above

yesterday we did something we never thought we would do. or had to do. or wanted to do. we bribed our son into getting a haircut. with mcdonald's. and now that is the only time he is getting it. his hair hadn't been cut since the incident. the one in which will threw a holy terror fit in the middle of the haircut place. one that he had been to many times. and refused to get his haircut. kicking. screaming. and alone with his dad. it had never been an issue in the past. his dad took him lots of times and never had a problem. not once. until that day. well, his hair has been growing ever since. his dad has refused to take him again. and i can't say as i blame him. in recent weeks he has looked like shaggy from scooby doo. i think we could have put one of sophie's hair accessories in that mess. or as my mom likes to say it looks like he combed it with a mix master. well, both me and my husband went yesterday. and will sat their in that chair and didn't move an inch. he even told the haircut lady he was going to mcdonald's for lunch. and even haircut lady commented on how good he was sitting in the chair. after will was done with his french fries and dippin' sauce we were back home. and you could tell. he threw a fit the minute we walked in the door. at least he is good where it counts. but the mcdonald's effect sure wears off fast.
