And hair has never been worth a fight. The funny thing is that the only one who ever really had weird hair was my son. When he was in 8th grade, he spent more time in front of the mirror than both of his sisters combined. He'd goop tons of gel on his hair and then comb it straight back. As it dried, it turned into a hard, ugly helmet, but he thoght he looked pretty hot. And it had to be PERFCET --one slight imperfection in the do and he'd start all over... Before they were fully on their own, we had one tattoo (our son), pierced ears on the girls, and one secretly pierced belly button that I have to admit looked pretty cute, but still ticked me off.
