After my brother went back home, I wondered if anything I had to say sunk in. It’s hard to tell with those teenagers if what you’re saying to them actually registers in their head. Not to mention whether or not they think what you have to say is valuable information. But, now I have proof that he was at least listening at one point in the three weeks he was here.
Donnie told me today that he got his hair trimmed. It sounded like it was a willing decision, not that somebody dragged him to the barber.
During his stay, I took him to get his hair trimmed and thinned, and tried to stress the importance of healthy hair. I broke it down in teenage speak: “Chicks dig healthy hair.” I’ll consider my “lecture” a success.
Unfortunately, that may have been the only thing that stuck. That and the importance of watching The OC.
But it’s a start, right?
