So... decided the kids looked mangy..

Told them today their hair would be cut.

Kid 5 said he wanted kid 3 to cut, I said great... went well.



I then told kid 3 it was his turn. I would cut his hair, or kid 4 or 5 could cut it.

Kid 3 said "but my hair is my head, if you cut it off, I will die"


I told him I would cut off his hair, if he died, I would apologize.


I also pointed out that kid 5 did not die from the hair cut.. no blood even.

Kid 3 said he was different. Cutting his hair was just like cutting off his head. I repeated... let's try and see. He said fine, but for a real experiment, I should first cut off his head...see if that killed him.

At that point... I texted spouse(I was hoping for backup).... Spouse responded with a gif... the one with Thor asking to not get his hair cut off. And added that kid 3's argument was quite logical.

Kid 3 didn't get a hair cut

What about the dad's hair? Does he need a hair cut as well? His kids could do it.

Ha! Spouse never gets a hair cut... I trim my own. no kid help with that.

I think you need some plows for the snow machines.

I do have to agree about snow machine parts strewn through the house. Maybe kid 3 can build himself a heated snow machine workshop.

Ha! No way would I pay for a heated shop.

We have a dirt floored shop ... kind of cold.

We also have a barn.

Amazing how full both are with "stuff"

Of course a huge part of the shop has firewood, and a large corner of the barn has alder wood for BBQ and smoking meats.

So the kid sorts out his stuff in the house... then rolls around in the snow to get the machines working.

And we do have 2 plows for the 4-wheelers.

But the kids need practicing so you should let them cut your hair. LOL
Your wife really doesn't get hair cut? Her hair must be really long!. I only cut my hair once a year.

Not even a trim? DW gets hers trimmed along the bottom a couple of times a year. Free at home, only paid to have her hair done once in her life, for our wedding.

Nah, Kid 3 pays for the heat with money he makes fixing up and selling snow machines!

 

[Alaskan]

Huh... I had no idea that never trimming hair was odd.

Spouse's hair is only mid back I think (almost always pulled back. So )


It would be cool if kid 3 started selling some of his junkers... but he needs to get a bit better first.

 

[Bruce]

No, he has to fix them so they are NOT junkers. Who wants to buy a junker for real money? People buy them cheap and plan to fix them up.

 

[Bruce]

Well, DW and DD1 only cut theirs to keep the split ends in check. I would think your spouse would be walking on it by now if it were never cut. Do you refer to them as "Cousin Itt"?

 

[Alaskan]

Not everyone has hair that just keeps growing ya know.

Yeah, but he isn't yet good enough to keep them running for more than a week at a time.

He needs more practice. He got his first junker snow machine last year, and it is just within the last month that he ended up with 6 more.
