cole gives maddie a haircut

This is the beautiful Maddie.

She’s best buds with my son Cole.

They like to hang out and do things together – like pairs corn shucking.

Unfortunately, sometimes when they hang out, their parents forget to watch them closely.

Recently, they were styling each other’s hair. A brush and a spray bottle of water kept them entertained and quiet for a long time. All was well, until, unbeknownst to us, they got ahold of some scissors.

Cole was stylist extraordinaire -

And he had a slightly different interpretation for her style.

But they loved it.

Fortunately, Maddie’s mom was cool about it. She even had the sense to not make a huge deal of it and make Maddie feel bad about it.

We all learned our lesson that day.

Cole learned that you don’t cut people’s hair even when they’re cool with it.

We parents learned that when the kids are really quiet, you need to check on ‘em. They are definitely up to no good.
