Mom Vs. "The Hawk"

Several boys on Jake's baseball team have shown up at recent games sporting a new haircut....a mohawk. So, I knew it was coming - Jake has always had very short hair. I mean almost to the scalp short hair. Although I don't have the courage to cut it myself, in the summer, I do attempt the buzz. So when I mentioned the word haircut recently, he whined and begged for the mohawk. He has only recently cared that he had hair, let alone cared about what it looked like. And so, we agreed. Actually, I think Kim was as excited about the prospect of it as Jake was. I agreed under two conditions: 1 - "The Hawk" could only be done on a Sunday AFTER church and 2 - "The Hawk" would have to be buzzed completely off by the following Sunday. So, for one week Jake was cool and maybe because I was the mom that agreed to it, I was cool too. Just for the week.
