Sam's big hair day

Look, Ma, I grew two inches last night

Sam's hair has never laid down flat. Nothing we do seems to matter. Water only works for a short time. Gel doesn't work. Hairspray doesn't work. No matter what we try, Sam's hair always ends up standing up on end. In fact, we tell when Sam needs a haircut by how far his hair stands up. (In case anyone is wondering, Sam's hair as it appears in this photo is about ready for a trim.) When Sam was younger, we spent a lot of time trying to comb his hair down, but amidst all our failures, we noticed that Sam was getting quite a bit of notoriety from his wild hair. So we saw the light and let Sam's hair be Sam's hair. Now we mostly just try to make sure he doesn't have bed head, otherwise he's good to go.
