Knuckle Bumpin' Everyone

I gave Ted a "real" haircut for the first time and it's soooooooo cute that I had to share, and brag on my haircutting skillz.  He really needed a haircut because he looked like one of the Beatles.  So, I asked him if he wanted it shaved like Barret, cut like Jakes (that's what he calls a normal haircut, slightly longer on top) or if he wanted to leave the top really long like Carter.  
He said that he wanted it short in the front with no bangs, but leave the back long.  I tried really hard not to laugh, just in case he seriously wanted a mullet, I didn't want to make it taboo so that he would always want a mullet.  But I absolutely DID NOT want to give him a mullet, so I said "Okay.  I'll just cut it to match the wig that Becky and Dad wore for Halloween.  You want a mullet, right?" This image entered his head:

 Of course he was like, "no no no! wait a minute. wait a minute.  I want a mohawk but not all the way back.  So, then I was happy because the faux hawk is SO cute and he's always been too embarrassed to spike his hair up.  So, now he has one and it's really cool.  He says that he looks like "a spikey faux hawk dude that goes around knuckle bumpin' everyone that he passes".  (That's like a high five with fists, for you old folks)  


I cannot look at these pictures without laughing!  It's too cute with no teeth.  When it turned out cute I told ted that I wished I had given Barret a faux hawk too.  I just shaved his really short for the EEG tomorrow.  But Ted thought that Barret was pleeeezed with his "no hawk" haircut.

I thought I had KIDS not ADULTS!!!

SO... we're driving down I-65, me (Shana) and Sydney and Ally.
Then out of the clear blue sky drops this conversation:

Sydney to Mommy: "So, did John McCain just go back to his regular life?"
Mommy to Sydney (slightly amazed at this question): "Yes, he is still a senator in Washington DC." (Background: They had a mock election at their school)

Ally to Sydney (Mommy now excluded, Ally very serious and matter of fact): "Didn't you vote for Rock Obama?"
Sydney to Ally: "No, I voted for John McCain. Daddy voted for Barak Obama."
Ally to Sydney (now getting the name right): "Oh, I thought you voted for Barak Obama."
Sydney to Ally (equally serious and perfectly comfortable with this conversation): "Me and mommy voted for John McCain, and Daddy voted for Barak Obama."
Ally: "Oh, ok... Daddy won!"
