I Want a Circle Haircut, Just Like Daddy Carolyn Hester

At four years of age, a child is learning very rapidly, but sometimes they draw wrong conclusions from a limited set of experiences. This is what happened when our twin son, Kent, who drew the conclusion that the barber had given his daddy a "circle-haircut" style when it was actually a bald spot by nature, and so he requested that the barber give him the same style of haircut, thinking the barber was responsible for the "style" of haircut his daddy had.

Through the years, we have found humor in his unusual request and would like to share it with others who may have a little boy who also has drawn the wrong conclusion or perhaps those who enjoy the same humor we have through the years. We still laugh about this.

The day this occurred, my husband came home chuckling at the request our son had made to the barber, and the barber was very amused by it also.

The above part of this story is an actual experience, and the rest of the book is fiction. He did not get the "circle haircut" in real life, but he does in the book. Follow father, son, and grandfather at the experiences they might have had.
