Linus is having a bath, and plays with his plastic fishes in the water.
(Juanmi enters)
Juanmi: Linus, I think you need to wash your hair, it has been a long time since you last did.
Linus: No, my head no... nooo.
J: Yes, I know you don't like to get your head wet, but I really think you have to. Your hair is getting all tangled and you are getting rastas, see? All messed up.
L: Nooooooo...
J: OK, what do you think of this: you go on playing for a while and then we come back and wash your hair very carefully?
L: Yes, yes.
(Juanmi knows, but leaves)
(5 minutes later, Juanmi enters)
J: Okeeey, time to wash the haaair.
L: Nononono.
J: Yes, yes, yes. Come on, we arranged it so.
L: Noooooooooo!!!
J: Linus, yes. It will get very messy otherwise. Put your head like me, like this, backwards, and I wash your head very...
L: Noooooo!!
J: Linuksele, there is no choice today. We gotta wash it or cut it.
L: (ponders and finally gives in) OK.
J: Good.
L: Cut it.
J: Yes, like th... what? Cut it? We cut it? We cut your hair?
L: Yes, cut it.
J: Aahmm... (exchanges looks with Veronika, Veronika shrugs)
J: Okey, let's cut it then. Sure?
L: (Totally cool) Yes.
(The hair proceeds to be cut and while Juanmi tries to prevent that Jaana swallows Linus' golden curls, he thinks that he has learnt two precious things: a good lesson about ultimatums, and that his son is a punk at heart).

Oh nooooo. Breaks my heart when little boys want to get rid of their golden curls! I wish they stayed long-haired and beautiful until the end of time!
ReplyDelete(I still haven't gotten over Arttu getting his hair cut. Plus his reason was so sad: they had called him a girl at daycare. Oh I miss those golden locks. I know his decisions are his own, but still.)
I like Linus' attitude, though. :)
