“Do I Hear?” – “No Haircut Today!” ??

Oct 29th “Do I Hear?” – “No Haircut Today!” ??

“Now that I think about “Hair-cutting” – can not remember any of the “BOYS” complaining that they did not want their hair cut – today? When I was a kid at “St. Vincent’s” – my brothers always looked good to me – their hair was always the same length – and everybody knows – that hair does grow – but their hair was always the same – so I guess that when the “NUN” – way back then – said, “It’s time for “HAIR” to be cut!” – Every boy just got in line and waited their turn – making sure not to complain – because – you know that if you do complain – “OOPS!” and the scissors could sure slip and really do a “terrible number” on your head – something that you’d remember – forever!

One of my brothers’ had the best shade of “RED HAIR” – if you wanted “RED” hair this was the color and shade to ask for! My other brother had “BLOND” – and you know what they say “Blonds” have more fun! They both had freckles and you could tell that they were from Ireland they were also full of “Blarney” with the gift of gab – some people are so “LUCKY!”

My hair was the standard “BROWN” – I’ll never know who ordered that color for me – but I would rather – have had either of the other colors – – that my brothers had and – looking so good – and “NO” – on the “freckles” – too! You might say that if you – don’t want something – you will more than likely – get it — but if you ever ask for something – you definitely will not receive it – so at this age – you become very – “GRATEFUL” for what you receive and learn to “LIKE” it!

This picture of the “NUN” and the boys are unknown to me – as this was taken after I left! The “BOYS” – look like having the “WEEKLY” hair-cut is no big thing – and that they sit and wait each week for their turn – “NO BIG DEAL!”
