Anatomy of The Boy's Hair

The Boy's hair is wild. I mean really wild. I don't know what to do with it. I try to wet it and lay it down, but it's rebellious. The funniest thing to me is that it looks different all the time. This is not because he's growing and changing. It looks different throughout the day, and from day to day.  Here's some examples.

Sometimes it's all Hollywood bedhead:

 
(same outfit, same pose, too)



Sometimes it looks like a cross between a kewpie doll and a Who from Whoville, but not as creepy as either.

The top sticks straight up. Remember the Snorks?

               

or lays down to a widow's peak a la Eddie Munster:

Sometimes he looks like a young Ron Howard:
  


Unfortunately sometimes he also looks like an old Ron Howard:

    



Sometimes that top piece goes back like Rin Tin Tin's owner:

   

The sides stick out like Jim Carrey in Lemony Snickets:

  

 












If it's windy it all sticks up like a baby duck.

The top swirls like a hurricane weather map:

   

 Don't sneeze too hard or it might all blow off like a dandelion:

      

                     

Sometimes it sticks up and all goes to one side like a comb over rooster, or Rihanna. 

   

In the back it's the thickest. That's where he's Steve from Beverly Hills 90210. This pre-mullet is what my sister-in-law refers to as the "horizontal rat tail." Awww, yeah. 

 
It's obvious that his hair is not his strongest suit right now. I'm hoping that'll get better as it grows in.If not, we'll invest in some serious product and we'll be great examples of accepting others just as they are. Of course, there's always hope that bad hair equals good genes. Maybe he'll be as successful as this guy:
