Bag Balm: The New Hair Therapy to Achieve that Lustrous Shine! disclaimer: may cause baldness if used irresponsibly

Evan woke up from his nap today and discovered the square tin of Bag Balm tucked away under his changing table. For those who do not know what Bag Balm is, it's similar to vaseline (but much more potent in smell and purpose.) Growing up around horses, we used the ointment for cracked or dry hooves, but we mainly used it for our own chapped hands or dry skin--incredibly thick stuff! With a name like Bag Balm-with its cow's udder logo-who wouldn't want to lather up in the stuff??? You'd think the smell alone would turn Evan away, but he'd always been intrigued with the green box ever since Mommy would use it when the Desitin didn't seem to cure one of his pesky diaper rashes.
So after a tub, two showers and six shampoos (lather, rinse, and repeat...repeat...repeat...no kidding!) It became inevitable that it was not going to wash out. We even tried to rub a baking soda paste in his hair to help break up the grease. As I poured water over his head the expression "Water off a Duck's Back" never seemed more appropriate! Evan was becoming very impatient with the whole process and we became increasingly more frustrated, so Daddy was the one to suggest shaving Evan's head. It seemed like the only option we had left. So just in time for his second birthday on the 10th, Evan will now be sporting a buzz cut for the rest of the summer. My silly, silly boy. Here's our attempt of a "Mommy-Comb-Over".
