Occasionally on our drive home, we’ll take a different street to get to our house; although it is longer the kids have taken to calling this the “shortcut” and they like the change in pace.

As we drive home tonight, Ewan began chanting “hair-cut. hair-cut. hair-cut.”

“Do you want a haircut?” I inquired.

“Um-hmm.”

“But you just had a haircut.”

“hair-cut. hair-cut. hair-cut.”

“Do you mean ’shortcut?’”

“Yeah.”
