Okay, so the photo was actually taken over 40 years ago. But after Sunday night's ritual, this is real close. Ritual hair cutting. My mom keeps calling me her "bald baby" again.
The middle son shaved his head last fall (just in time for class pictures!), but after a couple of months decided it was too high-maintenance a look for him. His hair grew back unevenly, and it was too much of a hassle to keep everything shaved. These days, he still keeps it short, about 1/8 of an inch; it's kind of a Doc Savage look.
