Flattop haircut and footed pajamas by Jim Atkins

It was Christmas in 1975 when all the kids were going on vacation from school . It was in the afternoon when school got out and I was going home. All the Christmass gift were under the tree and my Mom & Dad would not let me open them till tonight . They had told me that I had a lot of gifts but I would have to go to the barbershop and get a haircut before I could open them when my Dad took me I had no idea that I was getting a flattop I was already 13 years old and had my hair long . When I sat in the barber chair the barber started to brush my hair up ward then when the clippers were on all my hair started comming off . After 20 minutes I had a flattop haircut high and tight . When I got home at 6 o'clock my mother gave me my first gift I opened it and it was a pair of baby blue polarfleese footed pajamas . I went and put them on Whearing them and having a flattop haircut was something I was not used to . But after a while I got used to and started to like it. After that I always wanted to have a flattop haircut I wish I could go back to those days again . It was the best Christmass ever

Love it when dads force haircuts. Really short buzzcuts and made to Button their shirts up tight to the neck.

Nice story, my dad wasn't that nice about it. I got my first D in 1973, I was 14 at the time, My dad took one look at my grades, and with that it was to the barbers to get a haircut. my hair was well over my shoulders at the time, I told my dad I didn't want a haircut. I was going to get one like it or not. When my grades are back to a B or better then I could have long hair again, and the h&t flat top could then grow out. My grades never got better than C+ and the flat top stayed with me to this day.
