Alex, the brain, and the haircut

Alex really comes up with some crazy things to say. The other day he hit Aliza and I asked him why he did it.
"Alex, why did you hit Aliza?"
"Because!"
"Because why?"
"Because my brain told me to!"
"Your brain told you to?"
"Yes, (pointing to his right brain) this side of my brain moves my hands and feet what to do, and this side (pointing to the left side of his brain) tells my body parts what to do. This side of my brain is not working (pointing to the left side) so this side of my brain (right side) is just doing what it wants and it hit Aliza. I keep telling it to stop but it won't listen"


I don't know where he gets his sayings from, but all I could do is laugh and tell him to go to his room!

Then there was the famous hair cut. Alex decided to cut his hair. He took scissors and took out chunks of his hair. First he told us his buddy Bennie at school did it with a knife. Then he said he did it with scissors because he wanted a new hair do. Sean was not happy with Alex, so he got out the clippers and cut all of Alex's hair off thinking he would not like it. During the hair cut Alexis told him he forgot about pictures with the cousins and was going to look stupid. That did not seem to phase Alex. When Sean was done, he did not think Alex would like the hair cut. Alx looked in the mirror and said, "Thanks dad I always wanted a hair cut like yours." Sean was not happy that his punishment did not work, but thought it was cute. Mom on the other hand was mad at both Alex and daddy becasue the barber could've fixed it and it would've looked better.
