The very first time she first saw Grandpa's beard at the beginning of No-Shave November (Men's Health Awareness Month), she didn't like it at all. "I just want you to be normal," she said with a frown. "Ok," we melted, "at the end of November if you still don't like it, you can be the one to shave it off." Her opinion about Grandpa's beard didn't change any over the month, so today Emily did the honors, using a hair clipper and a two-handed steady grip. No cuts, no gashes. Grandma took the picture. So now we're back to "normal" -- whatever that is.
