bald is beautiful too

and thank goodness for that.

....

You ask why? or maybe even how?

....

Well let me explain. first you have lunch with a "friend". She convinces you that your child's one wacky curl and comb over hair on the back of his head needs to be cut. And well, maybe it was the bottle of wine you shared with this "friend" or maybe it was just a small lapse of judgment. Either way, you decide to get out the scissors right then and there and take care of this little issue. No big deal right?

....

Well, the next day, you then decide it doesn't look quite right. So you decide to even it out just a little. This decision results in a head with many bald patches in it.

....

and this can not be.

....

So you then proceed to call up "friend" and have her come over with her clippers to close crop his hair. Well, since baby is not even 8 months old yet, and also because this "friend" keeps answering her cell phone....this close crop didn't really turn out any better.

....

So finally later that night as little innocent baby sleeps soundly in your arms, you take a plain old blue razor and finish the job yourself.

....

You cry silently.
