If you want an honest answer, ask a kid. You will always get the brutal truth. Often without asking for it.
This conversation took place when I picked the kids up at preschool. I had just gotten my hair cut.
Thing 2: Why did you get your hair cut?
SuburbanDaddy: Because it was getting too long
Thing 2: Why do you have so much gray hair?
When my hair is short, apparently the gray is more prominent. I think we all know the 3 sources of my rapidly graying hair.
Then we went to Thing 1’s classroom. He immediately started to laugh.
SuburbanDaddy: Why are you laughing?
Thing 1: You look like a chicken!
Next time I’ll have to consult with them before getting my hair cut. You’ve got to love their honesty.

I recently took the norelco to my head and when I picked the kids up from school my son started laughing and said, “I bet Mom hates that!”

Lesson to be learned? NEVER dye your hair. You can only imagine the conversations that would ensue in public after THAT!
