New Haircut?

I always try to greet each child individually in the morning when they arrive, so I station myself either in the hallway by their cubbies or just inside my door when the bell rings. It's also a good way to observe and check on them - who isn't wearing a coat despite the cold? Who looks sad or is hopping around with excitement for some reason? Etc.

Yesterday as the kids were pouring into the classroom, I was just inside the door, and as GH trotted past, I said, "Nice haircut, G!"

He stopped and said in surprise, "I didn't get a haircut, Mrs. I."

"Oh, then did you comb your hair a bit differently this morning?"

GH paused for a moment in thought, and then slowly responded, "No.... It's been..." (longer pause) "... two weeks since I combed my hair."

And he continued on his merry way.
