(Yep. That's hair... And it's not the remnants of their first haircut.) Mom has now lost all the calm and quiet she enjoyed in the shower and her muscles are just as tense as before!
You see, the boys really love going to the barber with daddy. They get to sit in cool chairs, they get popcorn while they wait, they even get to play a little pool. Whey their cuts are done, they get to shoot a basket and win $1.00 off the cut.
You can imagine how furious I was when I saw the hair on the table (I later found another huge chunk in the bathroom). I asked (calmly, of course) why there was hair on the table. But I didn't have to dig too deeply to figure it out. 
Trevin explained it all to me: "Mom, Mekhi needed a hair cut. He sat in the chair and I gave him a towel (around his neck to keep the hair off) and cut his hair. When we were all done, I let him shoot a basket and he made it! His haircut was only $5.00". Surely he stood with scissors in his hand wondering who his next client/victim would be!
To tell you the truth, it's amazing that there was no blood! He had used really long scissors and it could have been really bad. On the up side, I learned how to use the clippers. And, Trevin did put the towel away in the hamper when he was done. At least he cleans up after himself (mostly!).
Just for fun, here's a picture from Mekhi's first real hair cut.
Oh my goodness! Of all the things my boys have tried, no one has ever cut someone else's hair. Their own? Yes - but no one else's.
