I say: “Time for a haircut, Bear.”

he replies: “No thanks, Mom. I’m growing it long.”

Good for him. I do hope I get to meet him on June 3rd. And you too!

steveyo · May 10, 2006, 6:58pm

What’s June 3rd?

podzol · May 10, 2006, 7:25pm

The LBI tour (see thread in RSU) … and my birthday!

My little brother gets smacked around a bit and thrown into a chair when he says that.

JJuggle · May 10, 2006, 8:53pm

Yes, it’s the LBI Unithon fully discussed in this thread, with a link in my sig.

It’s only about 3 1/2 - 4 hours from Albany.

crud your a female whoops I thought you were male soz soz
sorry bout that

I guess this does kinda show the dangers of the internet

boo_radley · May 10, 2006, 11:05pm

yes the internet is fraught with danger. run away young one, run away.

Long hair on males is just wrong. Your son needs psychiatric help immediately. I would also recommend stern physical and emotional punishment. I just hope the kid isn’t reading and thinking for himself, also. You may not be too late.

The real test will come when a complete stranger addresses him as “little girl”.

Does that still happen to you, Greg?

yoopers · May 11, 2006, 5:56am

…or, “Okay Mom. What time will you be back?”

Jethro · May 11, 2006, 6:47am

I think you should sit him down immediately and rationally explain the dangers of long hair, piercings, black leotards and other hippie type things.

MrBoogiejuice · May 11, 2006, 7:32am

You gave birth to a bear? And a long haired breed too.

I always knew yanks were a bit odd.

harper · May 11, 2006, 8:18am

Constantly. But only on this forum.

monkeyman · May 11, 2006, 10:44am

Watch out for Kristine…she’s really a hairy beer-drinking 50 year old man

s7ev0 · May 11, 2006, 4:19pm

Nice one! Assertive but polite!

Here’s what he might look like in a couple of years…

(bit like Cousin It, I think)

podzol · May 11, 2006, 4:28pm

Yep I can see him in that picture. Exactly. I can’t really say no. I’ll say no when he wants to preforate his face when he’s 10.

s7ev0 · May 11, 2006, 4:51pm

Exactly! Pick your battles and make sure they are worth fighting for! Long hair? Pshah!

Joe refused to wear a coat for years, regardless of the weather, and after a few too many silly moments we decided to let him go with it. Peace and sanity returned - and we saved money on coats! He hasn’t worn long trousers for several years now either (secondary school in Sept will see this change as long trousers are a compulsory part of the uniform).
