RIP Nick's pretty hair

I am writing this short eulogy for our son's beautiful silky blonde hair, which i just read is common among Aquarians, like he is. A few nights ago my husband and I took some clippers to his long shaggy do and tried to give him a cool funky trim with a short mohawk. This didn't work out so well, as he fought, squirmed and cried so much I had to call time out. So, now his hair is a mullet down the back with a very long mohawk (too long to be spikey or cute) and he looks like one of the lost children from "Peter Pan". We had good intentions, as he hasn't had a trim since Christmas and although I love long hippy hair on boys, it was just to shaggy looking and in this terrible humid weather was always sticking to his neck and ears. In the next few days, we'll have to wrestle him down to the floor again and try to finish the job we started, and my son will forgive us someday after a few years of therapy. Nick, we love you and are looking forward to chopping off that rat tail you have going (more like a beaver tail because it's 3 inches wide)...no one deserves to have a mudflap hanging down their neck especially sweet boys like yourself!
