A few days ago Punk told me he wanted me to cut his hair very, very short. Almost bald. Because of time constraints and because I wanted to be sure it wasn't a whim, I told him he'd have to wait until this weekend. I asked him why he wanted to do that. He said he wanted it to look like not Daddy, but the other boys in school! When I asked him again if he was sure this was what he wanted, he told me, "Yeah, Mom. It'll grow back, you know!"

So, tonight we bit the bullet and cut off that beautiful orange hair that is the envy of many and the talk of the town. Somehow the transition caused him to become a snow leopard, hence the poses.
