These two children are growing up in the same home. They are even related by blood. Yet it is obvious that children are just born with different personalities.
I gave both boys a haircut Saturday afternoon. Here are the conversations I had with each them following their own haircut.
Justin: (Doesn't say a word. He just gets up from the chair, turns around, and stares at me.)
Me: You need to go take a shower now.
Justin: That's why I hate haircuts, cause I always have to take a shower!
Me: (thinking in my head . . . don't you have to take a shower today even if you didn't get a haircut?)
Justin: (Muttering under his breath as he takes his towel downstairs.)
3 minutes later . . . Justin comes upstairs.
Me: Did you take a shower?
Justin: Yes.
Me: Did you use shampoo?
Justin: I'm clean.
Me: Did you use shampoo?
Justin: No.
Me: Did you use soap?
Justin: I let the water run all over me really good.
Me: Did you use soap?
Justin: No.
Me: Did you put clean underwear on?
Justin: I just put these on today.
Me: The underwear or the shorts?
Justin: The shorts.
Okay . . . I'm tired of typing. There is more to this conversation, but you get the idea.
Here is my conversation with Jay:
Jay: Thanks for the haircut mom! I really needed one! Should I go take a shower now?
