Happy Birthday, AJ4! Pater has to write this post because Mater is in her bed crying. Neither of us can believe you're three already! Pater is, however, taking the news better than Mater who remembers this...
...and isn't prepared to deal with the fact that you are now such a big, independent boy, with a crazy crop of curly blonde hair...
In fact, she was so angst-ridden by the thought of losing her little baby, that your
upsherin, the first haircut some Jews only give their boys on their third birthday, was more of a figurative haircut than a literal one. Here was the before...
...during the "hair cut"...
...and well, um, how does Pater put this accurately? After?...
It was almost like a Spot the Difference competition! Mater was adamant that the blonde curls remain, and since the alternative was Mater retiring to a dark room and crying herself into a tizzy as she mourned the loss of youth in general and yours in particular, who were any of us to argue?!!! So while you still remain a cut above the rest, AJ4, your hair was not!
Happy Birthday, AJ4! We all love you very much!!!
