It had been a while since my wife, Dee, had cut my hair and I was thinking about going to a barber, something I hadn't done in over a year.
I had attempted to get her to cut my hair for several weeks with no luck. Finally, she told me she had arranged for her hairdresser to cut my hair.
When I asked why she wasn't going to do it she said, "I have wanted to watch a professional do it, so I can do a better job."
That made sense to me, so I said fine & asked when the appointment was.
She said, "next Thursday at 6:00 PM."
"Why so late?" I asked.
She replied, "you work till 5:00 I didn't want you to take off for a hair cut".
Now, Thursday is here, I get home from work and am told to take a shower and she would lay my clothes out for me. I told her I would rather shower after my hair cut, but she insisted.
I take my shower and find a T-shirt and a loose-fitting pair of shorts laid out for me to wear. Now I am not too big on wearing shorts out in public, but she has been pushing me, so I gave in.
I go to my dresser for some underwear and she says, "Oh no you don't, I've been trying to get you in the car in loose fitting shorts without underwear, so I can play, now get dressed."
I'm thinking this could be fun after we leave her hairdresser, so I do as I am told.
We arrive at Bitsy's Salon about 5 till 6:00 and she is finishing with her last appointment of the day except for me so we sit down and wait.
In a few minutes, the last lady leaves and Bitsy locks the door and pulls the shade.
I am told to get in the chair and she placed a cover over me and began to cut my hair while DEE watched intently, smiling that beautiful smile.
It doesn't take Bitsy very long to complete my hair cut and beard trim and she asks, "what else?"
I say, "I'm good."
Dee says, "not so fast, we aren't quite done here."
DEE has this million-dollar smile and she is beaming and looking at Bitsy who is smiling right back at her.
