Multi-generational mullets


Yep. You read it! Although I'm not really sure it is MULTI-generational because there were just 2 generations. I would be willing to bet that there's a grandfather somewhere...anyway- I should probably explain. I think I mentioned the other day that I see a large number of kids at Hobby Lobby. Despite the constant stream of kids of all shapes and sizes, I was not prepared to see a family of mullets. There were 7 people in the family. The mom and 2 daughters and one of the sons had perfectly normal haircuts. The father and 2 young sons were sporting the ever-dreaded mullet. And these were no minor mullets. We're talking hair MUCH longer than mine with a mullet front. It got me thinking--is it really fair to make your children sport such a definitive haircut at such a young age? Given I'm sure I sported plenty of really bad haircuts in my childhood (some self-inflicted with my bright orange fish scissors), but a mullet just seems cruel. Anyway-I ended up chatting with the mother of the bunch and she informed me the family was making baskets for some Cherokee thing in Kentucky. I instantly got "Indian Outlaw" by Tim McGraw stuck in my head and spent the rest of the day humming the chorus of, "I'm an Indian outlaw/half Cherokee and Choctaw..." No fun for anyone around me. I think the kicker for the day was when the little boys were running as the family left the fabric section and I heard the mother say, "You better not do that because if you break something at this store, they break your legs!"
