Motherhood is really funny sometimes

I really hope Devon doesn't read this. Ever. He will be totally embarrassed I blogged about this but it is so funny I don't ever want to forget it.

The other day Devon came running down the stairs in a panic. Apparently, he was in the midst of shaving his head with the hair clippers, took off the attachment to trim up his neck and saw a spot he missed earlier. He forgot he took off the attachment and now he has a bald strip on the front of head.

His face had panic written all over it as this is the second time in a 3 month period this has happened. He didn't want to face his friends again with this heinous hairdo. He informed me he would not be going to bed until he made a wig.

His first failed attempt was to put his shaved off hair onto a piece of tape and try to adhere it to his head. Devon's second failed attempt was to color his shaved head with a black marker hoping the black would blend in with his BROWN hair. He asked me how to make a wig then he asked if our neighbor who is a hairdresser had any wigs for sale. He tried to do a comb over with the surrounding air which was all of about 3 cm long. Then he went to bed. (I was secretly laughing the whole time.)

A few days later he discovered that he could pile on his shaved off hair (and why is it not in the garbage by now?) and hairspray it onto his head. Who knows how much hairspray this takes. It actually looked pretty good to the untrained eye. He was so pleased with this he decided to try this on a school day. I guess his friends caught on to it because he said they ripped it off and laughed at him. Thank goodness he is a boy. His hair is now growing back and is not looking quite so obvious. If I can get a picture of it without him knowing I will post it to the blog.
