If You Give Your Husband A Haircut... (Part 2)

Once upon a time, there was a wife and her husband. The husband had really thick hair that stuck out at funny angles and looked like wings above his ears if he didn't get regular haircuts. Seeing the wisdom in learning to cut his hair herself to save money, the wife bought a razor and a pair of scissors. She learned rather quickly, and every three weeks or so the husband receives a haircut.


A few weeks ago, the husband really needed a haircut. His sister's wedding was coming up, so it was a very important haircut, so he wouldn't look weird in all her wedding pictures. The wife had lots of homework, so the haircut got pushed from a Tuesday to a Saturday. On said Saturday the husband went shooting with his Elder's Quorum from church, and during target practice he scoped himself in the face. He cut himself so badly that he almost needed stitches! As a result, the doctor told him to be very careful and not get it wet for a few days. This meant that the husband wouldn't get a haircut before the wedding.


This also meant that the husband wouldn't get a haircut for quite a few more weeks. Finally, the other day, the wife and the husband agreed that going to the temple looking like the husband did wasn't a good idea, so they sat down to give him a haircut. (FINALLY!) The wife must have been very excited because the first swipe with the razor turned out like this: 

(I told you his hair was long!)

I don't know bout you, but that looks just a liiiiittle too short. There's a little patch just to the right of the stripe where the wife tried to see how bad it would look if she finished the back of his head with the 1/4" razor guard like she usually does, and that looked so awful. So she resorted to using the 1/8" guard and letting the stripe blend in with the rest of his super-short haircut...

It sort of worked. The poor wife just couldn't bring herself to buzz his entire head with no guard on the razor, so the husband now has a landing stripe/racing stripe up the back of his head.


Tomorrow they go to visit family in Thanksgiving. The wife is sure this will be a great topic for conversation.
