The Hair Triangle





This picture was taken on a Sunday morning last September while we were all trying to get ready for Sunday School.


Don't they look like that man and woman with the pitchfork standing in front of the house?




Notice Eli's sarcasm toward Dave?



Anyways - I took this because I saw how Eli had grown recently. Dave is a little over six feet tall. Eli was about 5'7 ish ( a couple of weeks ago). I am sure it has changed from then to now.


We have had an ongoing love/hate triangle in our house for a long time. It is between Dave/Eli/Eli's hair.



Dave would love for Eli to have the flip (if you are not familiar with the flip - it is the flip of Dave's hair he has had since, oh, about birth). Eli rejects the flip. Dave tries to overcompensate for Eli's flip rejection by brushing the hair over to the side. Eli settles for the side-brushed hair - until we are out of site. Then, the hair mysteriously changes to a brushed down front look that all young boys are going for.

You know, this story is not really going anywhere.

Due to unfortunate circumstances, the hair has been cut recently. Needless to say, the hair drama still goes on. Does it look right? Is it shiny enough? Does it smell good?
Who knew teenage boys cared so much?
