Adam likes to grow a beard starting on December 25. He keeps it for the winter and then shaves it on June 25. Last night, I looked at him and said, “I’m not sure I want you to grow your beard this year.”
“Why not?” he asked.
“Well, looking at the holiday card, I think I like the photo better of you sans beard. Maybe you don’t start growing the beard this Christmas.”
Long pause. Finally, he says, “Um, I already started growing the beard.”
Oops.
