Curlylocks


I'm the only straight hair person!
In our family, the gene for "hair" has been distributed in interesting ways. 

This photo kind of captures it.

Relatively straight hair for me, but the men have got some serious curly going on.  

Steve of course is the one who provided the curly gene to the boys (he says the hair has now migrated to other parts of his body, primarily nose and ears!)

But Duncan has it on top of his head, and Alex has it on the bottom of his head (in terms of the beard). Between the two boys, they have the head fully covered

 
Duncan has, it seems, taken his hair to the next level.  Here is the photo from last night, when he combed it out.  Duncan points out that the best part of this hairdo, it that he cleans dust off the top of the door jams when he walks through.   His head is now a very efficient 'feather duster'. 

To get the full 3-D impact, here is Duncan doing a turn-around.




Can't help but think of this post and picture I saw on facebook:

This sheep escaped a farm and spent 6 years in the mountains, during which time he grew 60 pounds of wool. Wolves tried to eat him, but their teeth could not penetrate the floof. Moral of the story: you don't have to turn hard to survive the wolves, just be really, really soft and fluffy.
Am I wrong to see a resemblance?   Instead of telling Duncan it is time for a haircut, I should be honouring the work he is doing to protect his mind from the metaphorical wolves of the world?

  1. When was the last hair cut, Duncan? Was it in the fall?

    Duncan, I honour you for the length of time you can go between hair cuts.

    Fabulous cost savings to your family.

    Amazing look. Could you have your mother measure you to the top of your hair. I would like that figure. Do you think it makes you 6"9". That would be my guess. Maybe a little more.
