My nephew IM’d me the other day to ask about a “reward” for his completion of the 11th grade. I am obviously quite proud of him, but I have to admit I liked his request of a reward for his completing this year in school. Hell, even I was never that brazen when I was his age.
He made a request the other night that I cannot recall, but tonight he asked me to pay for getting his hair colored. I mentioned that I would think about it, but I am not too keen on the idea of paying for some preposterous coloring of his hair. I asked what else he wanted, and he mentioned clothes.
At this point, I may treat him to a nice meal and some clothes, but the hair coloring is a last resort. I definitely don’t want to be that kind of uncle.
If you’re going to treat him to a hair colored, may as well do it yourself. No reason to make him schlep into a salon for the treatment.
Just lend him your “Just For Men” supply.

@Alex: That’s a big if. I would be the one schlepping him anyway.
@George: Last time I checked, you’re older.
Hm…I recall a certain package of “grooming products”….
Congrats on your nephew, but, geez… when I finished 11th grade, all my parents did was make me start paying rent.
