A First Haircut

Body
Before high school graduation, before getting a driver’s license, even before the first day of school, a young man shows his mettle on the important occasion of his first haircut. It is an event brought on by neither effort nor ambition. It is something that just happens. A parent or a person in loco parentis decides that today is the day. The budding young fellow decides how he will respond to the weird new situation. Something’s about to happen to him. What to do, what to do? Just as a person in a car accident or in combat or in a surprise divorce shows what kind of person they are by how they respond, so Lukas Sunneberg of Pawnee City, aged 20 months, showed his mettle last week. It was his first haircut.
