NYC Trip Part 5: My Neverending Battle with Haircuts

It’s a big secret where Uncle Dedo goes to get his haircuts. 

But…let me give you a hint…it’s located on Doyers Street.

Well, Uncle Dedo let me in on his little secret and introduced me to his hair stylist who gave me a haircut costing $5.  It’s a bargain compared to the $18 hair cut Mommy paid for me one time at her stylist’s place, but not as good as the $2-3 haircut in Taiwan!

I was my usual self and was really, really upset that I had to get a haircut…and this time, in front of a huge audience of Uncle Dedo, Aunt Holly, Aunt Ellie, Uncle Wade, Mommy & Daddy.   The moment Mommy held me and sat down in the chair, I started to cry.  Mommy was hoping the lady would just use scissors, but the lady asked if she could use the clipper since I was already crying.  Mommy agreed, hoping to put me out of my misery sooner rather than later.

Thanks to Aunt Ellie, the whole 9 minutes of “torture” was recorded.  Daddy says I should spare you the torture caught on film, but wants you to know that it’s on his hard-drive in case one day I misbehave…

Let’s just say, after the torture chamber was over, I was given a Chupa Chup lollipop and that made me instantly better!  Yes, instantly better!  In fact, so much better that I could smile and pose for a photo with my Uncle Dedo (after both of us got haircuts).  Uncle Dedo says he would gladly give me a 25 cent lollipop to buy peace and quiet from me.

Mommy felt so badly for the poor lady who had to cut my hair.  I probably scared off many clients during those 9 minutes.  At least Uncle Dedo tipped her well to make up for my hysteria.

Thanks for my haircut, Uncle Dedo!  I promise you can take me blind-folded to the place when I grow older so I won’t reveal your secret.

I’ve saved the absolute best for last…Daddy wore mismatched shoes the whole time while we were in NYC.  We left so early the morning that Daddy didn’t realize what he had done until we arrived at Aunt Ellie’s place.  Here’s the proof thanks to Aunt Ellie:

NYC Trip Part 4: Chelsea Market

I discovered the fun world of bakeries at Chelsea Market, especially at Ruthy’s, where they make these famous Elmo cakes.

See me eyeing those macaroons?  Well, Uncle Wade actually bought some from Macaron and let me have a bite.  I actually liked it. 

Mommy is starting to worry that I’m developing expensive taste buds.
