For as long as I have known Bob he has cut his own hair. He has worn out a few sets of clippers, but the savings more than make up for an occasional new clipper. Since he cut his own hair, he did not see any reason to not cut his sons' hair. Clipper #2 works well, keeps the heads cool and provides a nice clean cut and neat look.
Recently Lukas has wanted to grow his hair a bit. And does he have hair... It is thick, coarse, and curly. He would happily accept trims around the ears, but not anything else. However, tending to hair takes time, it requires combing, drying, more thorough washing and combing again.. too much time wasted on unnecessary practices when there are robots to be designed, Legos to be built, programs to be written for the computer and tree house construction to be completed.
On Saturday night he decided that enough was enough and asked for a hair cut. Bob set him up and was all set to begin cutting, when Lukas asked to take it over... He calmly handled the clipper, hand mirror and wall mirror and began the cumbersome process of cutting off all that extra hair. He only asked Bob for some final touch up assistance, but he is definitely on course to begin handling his own hair cuts. Our little Lukas is growing up right before our eyes.
So, if the Lego programming, engineering, software developed, tree house construction, security system creator, new weapons designing is not working out, maybe his fall back is Barber?
