a gentle reminder

I was headed downstairs yesterday morning and Aidan came running after me.  "Mom, mom, you forgot your hairstyle."  I turn around and he's holding one of those claw hair clip things.  Wow...I've come a long way from going to the salon every two weeks to this moment of realization that my defining "hairstyle" is a claw.   I comb my hair sometimes, yes, and I do own a very nice pink flat iron, but most days it's just the claw. 

Thank you Aidan for the wake up call...I'll have to give you a gentle reminder in return someday if your present style preferences persist.

I can't think of a better finishing touch to his superman self than those boots! (of course they may get in the way of his saving the day, but as we all know, beauty is pain, hence your rarely used flat iron, and shouldn't that apply to superman too?)

All I can think of when I look at this picture is "killer boots dude," a line I am mortified to say I stole from Dumb and Dumber.

That is a fantastic picture. I couldn't see the boots at first -- had to scroll down. I thought I would die laughing!

And I love the phrase, "You forgot your hairstyle!" Too cute!

Hilarious. Very well written.
Hey at least you make the effort to put your hair up. I have thin, fine hair that always looks the same whether I roll out of bed or spend half an hour on. On Sundays I flat iron it for church (mine is curved so it curls it) and other than that sometimes I wonder if I even brushed today.
Thanks for the kind words about my blog on Kelly's blog. I'm glad you are enjoying my posts because sometimes I wonder if they are too long and dull.

No words can be penned to equate with the total "cuteness" (is that a real word?) of this picture. I can't imagine you trekking around in those honkers, let alone little Super Dude. Auntie J
