#ered cuts and seemed genuinely pleased with my attempts at the rendition

[unopenablebox]

i love occasionally having a useful skill...

i cut both my and 🌸’s hair regularly during Lockdown Etc and then once we started confronting the public world again a year+ ago they went back to getting it done at a barber to which i was like “sure whatever” and just assumed they, reasonably, prefer a professional cut

then the other day they were making unhappy needing-a-haircut noises and i was like “well, i would happily cut it, but it seems like you’d rather book at the barbershop?” and they were like “yeah i guess” and basically to make conversation i was like “i mean i’m happy to do it in a pinch though, are there things they do that i could replicate” and they were sort of like “eh”

and i said, “hey, this is going to sound weird, but is it possible that you actually prefer it when i cut your hair, at home, for free, and you have nonetheless been paying someone for the service because you’re somehow worried that you’re inconveniencing me by asking for a one-hour once-a-month favor even though we live together and i keep offering?”

and GUESS WHAT

anyway their hair is cut now and it looks cute and was convenient.
