Typical

When we got home from swimming lessons today I put J-Man in the shower to hose off the chlorine. As I was combing his hair afterward, I found a large patch of very short hair along his part. The following conversation then took place:

Me: Wow! What happened here? It looks like you cut your hair.
J: No, I didn't.
Me: Really? It looks pretty short. Would you like to try again?
J: You never believe me just because I lie all the time!
Me: Right. So would you like to tell me the truth?
J: I didn't do it! You have to believe me!
Me: Girls, did either of you cut your brother's hair?
K&K: No.
Me: So, you cut your own hair. Why did you do that?
J: I don't know.

I'm very proud of my calm reaction. I told J-Man that if he wanted his hair short, I could certainly accommodate that desire. So I escorted him to the laundry room and gave him a very thorough buzz cut. You gotta love it when you come up with the perfect logical consequence. If you happen to see him in the near future, please ask him about his hair!
