One day, not too long before the State swim meet, Lane came home with his hair cut in a mohawk.
You can imagine the double take I did when I first caught a glimpse of his (not so) hunky handsomeness.
That night Michael, Joshua, and I left for a soccer tournament in St. George. Lane had very clear instructions to cut his hair before the Sweetheart's Dance that weekend.
Which he did.
With no parents to push him and no grown ups to ground him, he still did what we asked.
He also went to his church basketball game, mohawk and all, despite the fact that he hates playing church basketball. He got himself up and to early morning seminary. He didn't skip school. He didn't drive the car we left. He did his laundry. He put his dishes in the dishwasher. And he made it home on time from his swim meet to go to a dance he had no interest in attending. Sporting a new haircut.
He also told the people who were making fun of his new "do" that it isn't nice to make fun of cancer patients.
And I doubt he told them that he wasn't one.
That's a good kid. And one that makes me laugh.

Avery and Audrey are horrified that Lane cut his hair without asking you. Their eyes bulged when I said he did it to be goofy. Avery wants him to know that it was not a good thing to do.
Good thing his mother sees humor in all of it. And good for Lane for being so responsible. Try it again by leaving him while you come here. :)
Lane cracks me up too. As long as his antics are of the hair-cutting-coloring-styling type. There are much worse things to do for attention.
