that’s my cue

This morning while I was at class Gus got a haircut. Quite a few, actually (har). It’s a very nice haircut, though like most of his haircuts it makes him look older, which is surprising until you get used to it.
I miss his long hair in some ways. He had a sort of John-Paul-George-and-Ringo thing going on, which was especially cute when he shook his head back and forth crazily. On the down side, he was starting to complain that he couldn’t see. And we all know what happened to the well-meaning parents who thought “let’s just give trim the bangs.” THEIR son ended up with a mullet. Don’t let that happen to you!
On some level I continue to be shocked that Gus doesn’t have curly hair like I do. But my disappointment is ameliorated by the fact that he has MAGIC hair. It’s true! Gus’ hair never seems to need to be combed or brushed. Even after a washing and going to sleep on wet hair, somehow it is magically straight and neat. I honestly can’t remember the last time we combed it.
I wonder if this means he has other magic powers?
