Cadets!

Taking big boy to cadets for the first time...
In the car:

Me: you know they'll probably want you to cut your hair right?

Kid: Prffft, it's my hair I can do what I want.

Me: well I'm not sure that's how it works kid

Kid: I'm not doing it.

Me: well, your call kid, your hair your activities...but you konw hair grows back

Kid: No

Me: Mrgggg (à la Marge Simpson)

We get to the cadets:

Sargent: Welcome Cadet, you need to cut that mop off.

Kid: OK.

I find my lack of authority disturbing....
