Aaaaah Yes! This truly was a moment of greatness! I remember one day being left to babysit the kids while mom and dad went out. At some point I had a moment of inspiration...lightening had struck my brain! I took Ammon in the back bathroom, used the clippers to shave his head....and then dad's straight razor to give it that super close finish. I truly spent a good amount of time running my hand over his head making sure I didn't miss many spots!
One of the great things about this was mom and dad's reaction....I think they were surprised......and then they let me know that if I ever did something like that again that it was going to be my head! I don't know what all the hub bub is though....Ammon truly liked his hair cut and said so at the time. I think that during that whole experience...I didn't have (and still don't) any fear of what the reaction might be or remorse for the act.....I think the sheer excitement that came with that inspiration drowned out all fear! And besides....who's the paper tiger?! ;-)
The story that needs telling is when David cut Laurie's hair! That is the story that almost ended with casualties!

I can't get on and post. Looks like you decided to be exclusive! :)
I'll give you a call about it later!
The reason dad and I were able to respond without bloodshed was that Meg met us at the front porch with a comment that may have saved your life. "Whatever you do, remember that you love Joel." With a lead in like that we were able to let you live.
