Faux Hawk

"Mommy, I want a Mohawk." That's what The Youngest said a few weeks ago. As a parent I've been down this road before. Most likely 7 years ago when The Oldest was 5.

Back then I was concerned about the social ramifications of a 5 year-old with a Mohawk. Would people stereotype him? Would the other kindergarten children include him when they played "duck, duck, goose?" What would his Grandparent's say?

I don't bother worrying about that stuff now that we have a second child, which is why Hot Husband & I took him to get his hair cut on Saturday. I thought it was rather ironic when the stylist said she didn't "do" Mohawks....she does "Faux Hawks."

He's none the wiser.
