HAIR SCARE

We were at the mall tonight. Ruther wanted us to meet him there after work and of course, I could not refuse. Good thing it stopped raining or I would have worried about the boys getting wet (or getting sick). Anyway, when we got there it was past 6pm and I was hungry. So, I sent Ruther and SMS and told him I would eat ahead and just meet us where we were. He agreed. I decided to get a bowl of hot goto (congee), tokwa't baboy (pork meat and tofu), sago't gulaman (a refreshment that contains tapioca and cubes of gelatin) and leche flan for dessert. While I was ordering my food, Ethan was drinking his milk. When I got to the table, this is what met me:





Ethan has gum in is hair!! EWW! I think he poked at a chewed gum under the table and it somehow got stuck in his hair. I freaked out because of well, germs so the first thing I did was disinfect the gum with alcohol. Ethan was already whining and complaining and saying it was painful (he was tugging at it) and I told him to stop and wait for his dad. I promtly called Ruther and told him the situation and he passed by a bookstore to buy a pair of scissors. I think it's a good thing the gum got stuck on his bangs (but just to be sure, I covered the sticky gum with a piece of tissue). If it were at the top of his head he would have a bald spot there and it would NOT be good. Anyway, here's Ruther cutting Ethan's hair to get rid of the gum:

He's really not in pain. He just wants the gum out. =D









Here's the gum and some of Ethan's hair.
