On Monday night Travis asked me to cut his hair. He came home really anxious about a big presentation he had the next day and wanted to look his best. He was a little cranky from his long day and demanding about the hair cut, and wanted it done right after the kids went to bed. In response I crankily went down stairs and got out the clippers. I usually cut his hair about 1 inch on the top and about 1/2 in on the sides using the preset clips. I got the clips out and put what I thought was the 1 inch clip on. Travis sat down and I ran the clippers through the front of his hair. "Wow!" I thought, "that sure is a lot of hair coming off!" It only took one more pass through his hair before I realized that I had the 1/2 inch clip on instead!! Travis could tell by the look on my face that something was wrong. Oops! I started laughing! I know that probably wasn't the best response given our cranky attitudes from moments before, but I couldn't help it. We ended up needing to buzz his whole head at 1/2 inch to fix the mix up. I think I laughed through the whole haircut. Although Travis didn't laugh at all! I felt so bad! He looks fine. It really doesn't look that different. I think he looks nice! Travis thinks he looks like a turtle! He even came downstairs after his shower and laughed about it too. Sorry Honey!

hahaha. ken alaways "demands" hair cuts too, maybe I should try your technique. kerri
This is awesome! :) Adam too has had that demanding tone...or has asked me to cut his hair when I've been in a bad mood...but nothing so exciting has come from our adventures! (Of course, it's been close when I've had troubles trying to even out those darn sideburns!) I've had plenty of laugh attacks after his haircuts while he just looks exasperated. I'm glad Travis could finally laugh about it with you! :)
I did that same thing to Chad about a year ago! Except I was using a 1/4 inch clip and after I made the first pass through the front of his hair and realized what I had done I started crying, I felt so bad! Chad was not thrilled! We can laugh about it now! I will email you the pic, it should make Travis feel a lot better about his haircut!! :)
I think the post and the experience is very funny. What I can't figure out is why you posted a picture of a turtle next to it. I guess it is funny to do, but a picture of Travis would have been more effective.
Andrea doesn't cut my hair. I am nervous to ask her to. Now I am really nervous to ask her.
OK SO I LAUGHED AND LAUGHED AND LAUGHED! It's been a long time since I laughed that hard. Knowing travis the way I know him, and having the presentation the next day!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! it just cracks me up! I just love you guys! ;)
