THE $100 HAIRCUT

My three-year-old grandson was long overdue for a haircut. Everybody in the family had tried to talk him into getting one. There was a crying fit at the beauty salon and there were various bribery schemes – all ignored until last week.

I decided that it was time. With permission from his mother, the plan began.

My husband has a pair of seersucker pants and my grandson really wanted a pair. We finally found a pair for $50 and then had to have them hemmed for $7. We then located three new toy cars from the Cars movie and a pair of SpongeBob work gloves…$18. We had to buy new hair clippers for about $20 and a Happy Meal for $5.

Our grandson came to spend the night and I told him that he was going to get a big boy haircut to go with his big boy seersucker pants. The cars were awarded along the way and about ten pounds of hair was cut off. His first haircut cost $100.
