Dominic hasn't been feeling well for a while. We had him at the doctor* early last week and were told he has "a little congestion." Which always makes me think, "No duh." Well, maybe not those words exactly, but I told my mom she should feel free to read my LJ so I thought I should clean up my language a bit. Hi Mom!
On Saturday I took him to the mall so I could get my hair cut and I bribed him with a trip to Dairy Queen if he was good. He wasn't good. And he didn't heed my warnings, so I made him sit on the floor and told him he'd lost his ice cream. Mel (my hairdresser) turned me away from him so she could cut from a certain angle and when she turned me back around we got our first glimpse of devastated Dominic. He was just sitting there, all lower lip poking out, bloodshot eyes, and tear-streaked cheeks. It was heartbreaking. And I want to make it clear that I don't think his disappointment is funny. But Mel's reaction to it was hilarious. And then her employees started noticing Dominic too. And their reactions were hilarious. Dominic is silently crying his little heart out on the floor of a salon and I'm laughing hysterically while I'm getting my hair cut. I'm surprised no one called CPS.
He was so good for the rest of the visit, I reinstated his ice cream privileges. Then he was all bloodshot eyes, tear-streaked cheeks, and huge grin. That boy has the most convincing crocodile tears I have ever seen. When I told him that I shouldn't have given him ice cream, he panicked a little and said, "But you can't take it out of my tummy!"
Also, I now have bangs for the first time since I was 16. See?

* Edited to change capitalization of "Doctor". Apparently I can no longer write the word "doctor" without capitalizing it.
