More About the First Day

When I was a kid I used to shave my legs behind my mom’s back. I don’t even remember how old I was. She said I was too young and wouldn’t let me. So, I took matters into my own hands, filled a drinking glass with water, and commenced to DRY shave my legs. I learned how to shave my legs the hard way. You’d thought I would have given up after having to go to school with pieces of toilet paper stuck to the cuts. But I didn’t.

So, months ago when I found out that Aspen had shaved her legs without telling me I decided that, regardless of their age, I would rather the girls have some instruction on how to do it rather than sneak around behind my back and cut themselves all the time. I told her not to do it again until I could sit down and show her how. Well, they insisted that this needed to happen before they started school on Wednesday.

So, Tuesday night after their showers we all sat on the edge of the tub with it slightly filled with water and I showed them how to shave using conditioner. It went wonderfully. They were happy and I was glad to be a part of it.

Now, I realize that once the my girls share their little secret with their 5th and 3rd grade friends I may have some parents that won’t really care for me. But… it was worth it.
