Actuality, yes. I so remember your first haircut. Listening to my mother, you did not get a haircut until your first birthday and indeed that is the day you went. It was in a two chair barber shop and "Sleepy" Robinson was the barber. After the cut I could once again see those big blue eyes. Your beautiful curly red locks were cut and you even got some "slickem" <BR/>to finish the cut. You were quite <BR/>a dapper young man when he finished. He too had the old fashioned cash register but it didn't ring that day. "First haircuts are free." And,yes, you did also get a Dum Dum lollipop.<BR/>I'm so pleased you are passing that on to your sons. Barber shops will probably fade away, but it is never the same in the salons. Too bad.<BR/>You went to the barbers for a few years before you were placed into the home based shoppe when I bought a set of clippers. I worked so much and it was much easier for me to place you in a chair in the kitchen. All went well until that fateful day when you heard "oops!" <BR/>You have long since forgiven but I'm sure not forgotten. My biggest regret that time was I think you were going to a homecoming dance or something. Now it's a great story.<BR/>Let's all salute our combs to the hometown barber. With "shear" luck, may they remain forever.Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09257287376998122780noreply@blogger.com
