my wife caught me

Well it wasn’t supposed to happen: I thought she had gone out already – but apparently she was still around.  Suddenly I heard steps toward the bathroom door and those terrifying words: “Are you… are you cutting your own hair???” 

It was supposed to happen like this: She goes out to do some babysitting; I secretly cut my hair and then put on a stylish hat; She comes home and remarks on how stylish my hat looks; I tell her I’ve decided to wear it to bed tonight; and so on…  But anyway, she tried to open the bathroom door.  Fortunately I’d had the foresight to lock it, and I waited in there until she had to go.  Now the deed is done, and I’m waiting for her to return, fearing her response…

Here’s how I did:

    Are you sure you weren’t just playing with the power points? Or perhaps you fell over the lawn mower….

    Forget about the haircut (which is good, by the way) … is that Blue Steel you’re pulling in the top shot?

    The top shot above represents a work-in-progress – I’m currently developing a look for the German/Swiss/Austrian market. It still needs some tweaking, but as you can see, it’s highly alluring. I like to call it, “Ein Traum”.

    Well, it certainly is traum-atic!

    Can I ask the obvious question – what did your wife think?

    hmm perhaps I’ll let her answer that!

    Well, my wifely thoughts were:
    - He did alright with the front. He’s trimmed the front before, actually.
    - The back isn’t as good as the front. A bit more patchy. I told him he needed to go to a barber next time because of the back!
    - I agree, Big Matt, the bum fluff on the back isn’t so good. Which reminds me…where’s his electric shaver?

    Now that you mention it, Peter, there is definitely a bit of ‘blue steel’ about the look. Have you noticed whether he can turn both ways? Perhaps I should check.
