Oh my goodness!  I'm about to keel over from cuteness overload.  Hubby's Protege asked Hubby to teach him how to shave!  He MAYBE has some peach fuzz.  So they went out yesterday and bought supplies and today the deed was done.  It's adorable.  Hubby got a couple of pictures to tease him with when he gets older.   :lol:  You all have shared in hearing bad stuff regarding him, so now you can hear about some of the sweet stuff too!

Go to bed, does not necessarily mean, go to bed. Thank you Dymph, for this very cute anecdote. Your little guy, it seems, wants to grow up! He has such a good mentor in your dear hubby. Really. Hubby going out and purchasing this young man's shaving starter kit, is like a passage. He has entered a new realm, and hubby made it more than a joke, but a serious event. Oh, yes, he may truly be too young to shave, but thank God, that is all he wanted. This passage into the next stage of life is often marked by less than cute interests.

It would be nice not to have to shave. Too many knick injuries. Also, it would be nice to save money by not having to buy shaving products.  One time I did really try to grow out a beard, but I didn't care to have anymore later on.

Servus does not steal fun, she provides fun!

She might provide fun for herself by my giving her an opportunity to pillow fight me though. ;D

Couldn't have been a very good beard Kepha, or you would have given it another shot!  Besides not everyone looks better in a beard!

A good pillow fight is wonderful fun. There is a big difference between a pillow fight and just using a sledgehammer on someone. It only takes one to use the sledgehammer. You do not need to agree to it. Pillow fights have to have two participants. A pillow fight is a good laugh. But she has to want to participate.

It just may, Kepha, yes it may do just that.  Good thinking!

It's interesting that you bring up other interests, Carleen.  I'm assuming that you are talking about girls.  This is all somewhat new to me.  I just happened to notice last night that whenever we would come across any pretty girls, he would pull his hood off and flip his hair to the side.  Then when we would get by them, the hood would come back up.  I was cracking up but Hubby didn't notice it.

But you are right, Carleen, this was treated as a serious event in his life.  It made me kind of sad for his Dad.  This was yet another event in this boy's life that he has missed.  He will have few memories to comfort him in his old age.

Instead it gave Hubby one.  He's got quite a few now.  I really can't wait to see what the Protege will do with his life.  It holds so much promise but could easily go either way.

Oh!  I was going to ask, and I hope I'm not out of line with this, but is there anything that you do for boys when an event happens, thus bringing them into 'manhood' for lack of a better term.  I know for girls, she is given a bouquet of flowers and a special dinner is made when her 'special moment' happens.  If this is too personal, I understand.  But if there is something that should happen that isn't, I'd like to take care of it.   :)

Nope, I do believe your hubby covered that special occassion. I do not think there is anything beyond this for boys. Maybe there should be, but I know of none. Your hubby did exactly what was needed. Good hubby, good mentor.
