[QUOTE="Star*, post: 418126, member: 4964"] Pick your battles as explained to me by an 80 year old in a Hair Cuttery upon Dude explaining his wanted hair cut to the stylist Which was...."I want it a fade on the side with a mohawk spiked down the top and back, and I want the sides just slightly spiked so when I put gel in them it kinda looks like Wolverine, but not as long and I want it all a whiteish blonde, except for the mohawk - that I want to buy a couple different hair dye colors so I can do like blue or purple to match my kicks." After that? I chuckled and the older woman said patting my thigh "Hair grows out you know. - Pick your battles dear - by that I mean the things they can change? Let [I]them[/I] change. The things that mold their lives? Faith, morals, good manners, character? Don't sway on those. The rest of it? Pretty much a 'CR&*' shoot and whose to say what's right or wrong under anyones roof. I'm almost 90 and I couldn't tell you, but I did my best to raise my children with no regrets and let them go on to raise theirs the same way." I've only added 'respect' to what she said because we have tried to live by the Golden Rule. I actually wrote down what she said because that was a really bad day for us, and when Dude came out? He didn't have a mohawk at all. I was being shined - per difficult child grand style. So I guess we have guidelines for morality that are concrete, and then there are guidelines for fashion that are bendable so you can live with Xena, and everything in between that you just kinda make deals on for motivation. I thought it was pretty sage - [/QUOTE]
