Lip Hair

Today I took Matthew to the dentist for a cleaning.  The hygienist asked him if he wanted a kid toothbrush or an adult toothbrush.  I quickly inserted my opinion that he should have an adult toothbrush (sorry Matthew, no Dora brush for you). He quickly nodded that was the correct answer.  The hygienist glanced at me with understanding and said that she should have known and that he was getting pretty old and might have to start shaving soon.  Matthew was all over that and mentioned in a very serious tone that he had lip hair.  As the hygienist checked out the smooth as a baby's butt space above his lip, I mentioned that blond hair is difficult to see.  Thank goodness the lady was wearing a mask because her eyes were tearing up from laughing.  After much throat clearing to compose ourselves the hygienist wished me luck and we went on our way.  If only I could will the fine blonde prairie grass growing above my lip to Matthew, all would be right in the world.

  1. I love boys and the lip hair and the size 12 shoe at age 12. I never thought Peter would grow into his feet or his nose for that matter. But he has and it's the best thing in the world to have a son!
