Correction

I hate to keep harping on Kevin's wrestling/hair issue, but I need to set the record straight.

It is not a hair net that I need to get. It is a "stocking cap". Eric learned this last night while talking to the father of an African American boy that Kevin wrestles with. His older son wrestles and wears this "stocking cap" because he has long braided hair! Ughh!

I'm told I can get one at Walmart. But where in Walmart? I guess I'll have to ask someone. That ought to be interesting.

And now I promise I will change the subject.

There is hope! Or not.

Kevin just left for wrestling. But not before freaking out about putting his headgear on with his hair without making himself look "creepy". I guess the first time he put it on he pushed his bangs back under it -- giving him the "creepy" look. He did manage to find a look that worked for him. However, his hair keeps getting stuck in the velcro! I just about busted a gut trying not to laugh out loud listening to the sounds of pain as he pulled his hair out of the velcro strap.

It's going to be a long wrestling season... or maybe not. Maybe he will cave and get a hair cut. I know. I'm living in a fantasy world. But a girl can dream, can't she?

This long hair really is important!

Kevin and Mark are both sporting long hair these days (see Halloween and pumpkin picking pictures). I keep waiting for something to come along that will inspire them to cut it.

First, I thought it might be swimming. Kevin's was long enough that it got in his face a bit while he was competing on the swim team this past summer. His answer -- he wore a bathing cap!

Now wrestling season is upon us. Again, I saw a glimmer of hope that this might be just the ticket. Unfortunately, he announced at dinner tonight that he has a solution. He will put his hair in a pony tail and wear a hair net!!! WTF! Does the boy have no pride! He'd rather wear a hair net than get his hair cut! I don't get it. All I know is that I need to go out tomorrow to buy a hair net for my 11 year old son and I have an issue with that!
