He had been growing out a mustache and a soul patch (A small patch of hair between the lower lip and chin) because . . . well, we don't know why. He thought it was funny and many men on campus grow out facial hair to the very point that the dress code will allow. Once one of his professors told him that he admired his "lip mullet" he shaved off the soul patch but he left the mustache for a little longer.
Then he couldn't stand it anymore. And we were having a family picture done. And Nathan told him it was time to get it cut.
Bret and Erika have been very frugal and wise with their spending and saving. When it came time to do a haircut they didn't want to spend the money for it. Knowing that I have cut LeRoy's hair for the last 22 years (which started as a desperate need for a haircut and no funds to provide it) they begged me to cut his hair. I convinced Erika that she could do it and after watching a couple of videos they locked themselves in my bathroom. I left for an orchestra concert.
When I returned I found a clean cut Bret. Erika wasn't overly happy with it because she had cut one part too short so had to cut the rest to match but she was determined that she would get it right the next time. Luckily, Bret is a bit of a goofball and had her laughing through the experience. He had her leave the top so that they could take mohawk pictures to remember the first time she cut his hair.
They even took a picture of the pile of hair.
The next morning he shaved off his mustache just in time for pictures.
They are so fun!
