The Comb Over


            I came across a picture of my mother and my sister and me. I took the time to look at the photo in detail. My mother and sister look great, but I look funny. There was something wrong with my hair. I had a bad haircut. My bangs were bluntly chopped and in general it looked like my barber had failed. My wolf teeth smile might have had something to do with it, but I was focused on my hair. 
            I got to thinking who are these barbers anyways, and where do they learn to cut hair? In the military? I put an awful amount of trust in my barber and I know nothing about him. It’s no wonder I feel uncomfortable when I walk into his shop.  I don’t take photos often, but when I do, I usually have a bad haircut. It’s strange that way. It doesn't feel like I have a bad haircut when I have a bad haircut. It could be coincidence, but I doubt it. Anyway, I’m letting my hair grow long, F-it.
