While Generation Z and Millennials debate on TikTok whether the side part or middle part is more fashionable, we have our own hair raising issues to discuss. Today I’d like to update you on Mom and Dad’s hair. It has now been a year since Mom or Dad have received a haircut from a licensed professional!
Mom sees herself as looking like the Brother’s Grimm fairy tale character, Rapunzel, which in reality isn’t too far from the truth. She has spent over a year locked up in this house, and does long to escape. However, we sure hope Dad doesn’t try to use Mom’s hair as a ladder, because just like the prince in the original fairy tale, we doubt that will end well.
Problem is, while Mom dreams of her flowing locks, the reality is she looks more like Matt Dillon’s character, Cliff, in the 1992 movie, Singles. Not a flattering look for Mom. But at least she hasn’t grown the facial hair to match his. Then again, their eyebrows are rather similar these days.
In the meantime, Dad continues to fool himself into thinking he can cut his own hair. In the interest of full disclosure, Dad does NOT have a mullet, where it is “business in the front, party in the back.” Instead his look can be described as “business in the front, and a horrible travesty in the back.” Thankfully he looks presentable for zoom meetings, and hats cover this family secret when he does leave the house. At least there is a silver lining for both Mom and Dad’s embarrassing hairstyles. They are saving a ton of money that they can use to buy treats and toys for myself and Asa.
Speaking of Asa, he, too, continues to experiment with new looks during this pandemic. I’m not sure if he fancies himself an angst filled Kurt Cobain of Nirvana with his long locks, or a wild young Vince Neil of Motley Crue. Either way he looks ridiculous, and I wish he would wear a hat!
