Part 2 …

So, in case anyone was waiting for the rest of the haircut memory…here goes!

Remember my girlfriend saying that I could one day laugh at her? Well, if your wondering, I did have the occasion to take her up on the offer to enjoy a laugh, at her expense.  Probably about 3 or 4 years after the Horse Hair Tragedy of 95, I got an unforgettable call...

My girlfriend declared, “I am calling you first because I said I would, and you get the first chance to laugh before anyone else does.” 

Let me back up just a tad…

From the time of his birth, my girlfriend’s son began receiving Beanie Baby Bear memorabilia from his grandmother, as well as, other friends and family.  His baby room was covered wall to wall with adorable beanie bears, all perfectly encased, in those little plexiglass cases.  Everyone knows that for a collectible, its value is in its preservation… especially the tags attached to the item, from its beginnings.

Well, with the confusing logic that’s usually employed by children, my friend’s son took it upon himself to take the tags off of all his beanie bears.  He did this, not being concerned at all with the monetary importance of the tag being intact. 

After getting all of his bears off of the shelves and out of their cases, he proceeded to get out his preschool scissors and cut off not only all of the tags, but any ear or foot attached to said tag. 

I cannot remember exactly how many bears were maimed that day, but I do know it was a lot! 

To this day we laugh about this memory, along with many other crazy things our babies put us through

…and, we wouldn’t have it any other way…
