Billy has a thing about hair.
It needs to be flat.
Don’t spike it. No mo-hawks. Even parting it and combing it to the side bugs him.
He will start hitting his hair and smoothing it down if you try.
Since his hair only wants to lay flat, this works.
Rusty isn’t so lucky. His hair naturally stands on end. Try as we may, it won’t lay down.
(okay, I don’t try TOO terribly hard).
After baths tonight, Billy came to where I had Rusty and was playing with him when he suddenly stopped and said, “Uh-oh, Dusty! Hair up! Comb it!” I tried to explain that I HAD combed it, but who can reason with a 2 year old?
