After a great day at church and a visit from the home teachers, Brent and I had a wonderfully tasty Sunday dinner. Liesel went down for a nap. Feeling spiritually enlightened and physically satisfied, we decided to relax a bit. Brent had his head in my lap and I was running my fingers through his hair.They say men are sensitive about two things: height and hair. Brent has both of those in spades. While I love going up on tiptoe to kiss him, I'm especially partial to his hair. Seriously, Patrick Dempsey has nothing on him. It's incredibly thick and wavy and Brent grows it longer just for me. I never thought I'd fall in love with a blond and I am so very in love with this blond. When he's been playing basketball or just stepped out of the shower it really curls up and I can't stop myself from brushing the tendrils back from his forehead. Brent finds it unruly, I find it irresistibly sexy.
So we were enjoying a moment of quiet and I was contemplating how MUCH hair he had. And you know, it's actually pretty long now. Long enough in fact, that I think I could....
"ARE YOU BRAIDING MY HAIR!?!"
Oh, sorry... is that wrong? Am I not supposed to do that? If someone told me that was frowned upon I wouldn't have done it. Yeah, apparently that's bad. Kind of uhm... REALLY bad. I guess I crossed some line nobody told me about. Brent was pretty horrified and he quickly raked his fingers back and forth through my careful braid. I tried to tell him I needed to practice on someone so when Liesel's hair is lo... I didn't even get to finish that thought. I'm afraid he's going to the nearest Great Clips to have it all shaved off now. Memo to me, memo to me: don't braid Brent's hair. But for the record, I still don't see what's so wrong with that.

Wow, that is so funny. What about pigtails? You should have started with pigtails and THEN moved onto the braid.
Then french braiding and then shortly after that you could get the hot rollers going. If you go by slow degrees, the sky is the limit.
LOL!!!
*SNORT*
Well, what happened? Who got him first, Smart Clips, or Fantastic Sam's?
I know you love it... but he was starting to look like a girl... if he hasn't cut it, get all of your practice in. I used those clear rubber bands on Abigail so that I could just clip them out at the end of the day. Still works!
I did that to James once too, when his hair was down his back. And he was just as horrified as I imagine Brent was. I, too, was mystified, and realized that there was an unspoken no-braiding men's rule. What's with that?
