Flock of Seagulls

Do menstruating women "nest" as pregnant ones do? Lord o' mercy, I've been one nesting woman today - rearranging all the furniture, throwing open all the doors and windows to air the house as I stood, vacuum Extendo Wand in hand, to suction out crumbs from under couch cushions.

I have no idea what's gotten into me. I've even -gasp- cooked dinner.

Have no fear though. Every reproducing urge that may have thought to rear its head in me today was vanquished by the one small child, emerging from the bath tonight armed with mirror and hair brush. Atop his head, a flock of seagulls.

All smiles, he says, "This is my favorite haircut. Can I grow it out in back and wear a ponytail? But I want the front just like this."

I have raised a Mullet Boy. Don't let this happen to you.
