…Through sickness and through health. And through bangs.
Recently, we took the kids for haircuts.
Yes, all four at once. It was like a sheep shearing, but far less orderly and much more expensive.
Anyway, on the way home, the following exchange took place:
Me: “Wow. I sure love your haircuts.”
Perpetual Motion: “Then why don’t you marry them?”
General snickering ensued amongst the four freshly-shorn freaks as I flipped a u-turn and headed back toward the liquor store.
Since when did 6-year-old’s start throwing that out?
If you’re scoring at home… or even if you’re alone (Thanks, Keith Olberman!), this is that moment as a parent when you come to fully realize that you stand no chance.
But the haircuts did look really nice.
I LOVE this post (but I’m not going to marry it!).

The “why don’t you marry them” is part of the kindergarten curriculum. Dictator learned that one a couple years ago. No Child Left Behind.
Thank goodness they’re all getting that piece of the curriculum.
At least I wasn’t sittin’ in a tree with the haircuts.
Look out. She’s channeled Vivian.
I think Bill would have put a no-bangs clause into our vows if it wouldn’t have made him look shallow.
(He’s very deep. When required by church.)
“Then why don’t you marry it”… classic kid one liner. Jokes w/ poop punch lines and “I know you are but what am I?” are sure to follow…
I’m just waiting for mine to pick up those lines. The oldest is 4 so it’s only a matter of time before I’m gonna have to marry it.
