I don't know if he's been sneaking late-night viewings of The Godfather Trilogy.
Or if he's channeling Pat Riley.
Or maybe he just really digs Aurthur "The Fonz" Fonzarelli.
But Zach has been begging to wear his hair like this for the past month:
And after some humming and hawing, some forgetting and "not enough time today!"-ing, some "are you sure"-ing and straight up ignoring. I finally said to myself, "Who am I to stifle his unique spirit? It's what he wants. Who really cares?" There are definitely bigger battles to fight than this one. Not that I had been "fighting" per se, travelling the more passive-resistance route is more like it. So today, I piled on the gel, pulled out the comb, and got to work. Zach was finally able to wear his slick D.A. (circa 1950's) hairstyle to school. If his clothing were different, I would have sworn I was sending him out into the world of those greasy Outsiders. But the kid was beaming. And so was I.
