But the Wahl's just zip right on through, against the grain or from the side, it doesn't matter. Haircut night used to take 10-15 minutes per head. Tonight, it only took 5-7 minutes per head.
me: "owen, come here. it's time to get a new diaper" him, sprinting down the hall with no pants on: "forget about it!" he's quoting benny the rabbit, a short-lived sesame street character who happens to be in his favorite "count with me" video. i'm turning my head, trying not to let him see me laugh, because his use and tone with the phrase are so spot-on.
