LOL reminds me of when I was 15 and my dad tells me its fine with him to grow my hair long (as many of my friends were doing)....and he started laughing hysterically as he added "while you can" as he left the room
It took a while to sink in as to what he meant by that, looking around at all the male members of the family
Short hair I reverted to after a long camping trip....so much easier to take care of so I kept it short until it just basically stopped growing on top
