TheBanyanTree: To all parents

(Oops - I meant to send this to TBT, but the darn auto reply only filled in
Scott's name!  Sorry, Scott!)
 
 
I hear you, Scott. Only I'm on the other side of the razor! I've got the 
husband, two teenaged (officially, even. Matt turned 13 today!) boys, two 
boy dogs, and two boy cats. The bitch dog and I are awash in testosterone 
all day long! I finally had to resort to buying PINK razors to keep them 
from getting stolen. No man in his right mind (though that usually leaves 
teenagers out) would be seen shaving with a PINK razor. Then again, getting 
my teenager to shave is in itself quite a chore. He wants to grow up to 
look like a throw-back to the 60's. I don't think it's the "look" he's 
going for, just the ease of it. We only got him to shave the first time 
because everybody in the extended family started calling him Elvis. I had 
to get a picture of Elvis for him from the 'net - he knew the name, but had 
never seen a picture. He shaved that day. That was back in January. I 
think he's shaved, oh, twice since then. 
 
Speaking of shaving, my husband shaved his chest and back (ok, I shaved his 
back for him) before his heart procedure a couple weeks ago. It was a VERY 
good thing he did - they had more sticky things stuck to his chest and back 
than you can imagine! However, it's growing in very nicely now, and he's 
starting to comment on how itchy and uncomfortable it is. I'm afraid I was 
not the compassionate wife he was looking for. I just l@@ked at him and 
said, "When you start shaving your legs once a week or more all summer, I'll

start feeling sorry for you." 
 
He said, "You know, at this point I wouldn't blame you if you never shaved 
your legs again!" 
 
Oh, sure. He says that *now*, but just let me go out once this summer in a 
skirt with my legs all furry, and we'll be hearing a different song!! 
 
Uh, how on earth did I get here, from where I began? 
 
:o)

But, alas. as the only male in the house (three women, three bitches) means 
I just try and stay out of everyone's way and guard my razor like a... what?

Oh... three DOGS. All FEMALES. Geez... I'm not THAT bitter.
