Please consider the following cautionary tale as a warning to all humans before experimenting with a new look while staying home. Although it may seem like a good idea, it is best to leave all grooming to the professionals so as to avoid the strange styles my Mom and Dad are now modeling.
At least on the bright side, Mom finally stopped grooming us and instead is now using our scissors on herself. However, whereas she does a decent job on trimming our fur, her bangs, or fringe as it is called in other parts of the world, are an entirely different matter. Do you remember Mara Wilson in the 1994 version of Miracle on 34th Street? She’s the young girl with the very straight, super short bangs. Well Mom’s hair now looks very similar.
Dad also took this opportunity to experiment with a new style. For awhile now he’s been debating shaving off his beard, but was unsure of what he’d find underneath. When the order came that everyone should wear a mask when going out, Dad thought this would be a great time to shave it off. After all, on his rare trips out who would know what he looked like if he’s wearing a mask? Well we know Dad, and so do your coworkers who you video chat with regularly. Thankfully the shave came out looking good.
However, Dad’s hair is a different story. Now that he no longer has a beard, one of his observant coworkers pointed out that if Dad’s hair continues growing, he can be the spitting image of a young Justin Bieber. Again, this is not a style we would recommend for a man of Dad’s age.
In the meantime, Asa is considering growing a mustache. Who would have guessed that Asa would be the least of my worries?
