You Know You Are Old When

My mother cut my hair until the time that she barely missed my eye with the point of the scissors.

Yeah, Mom cut my hair until I met my wife. Shortly after we started dating she decided SHE wanted to do it, her decision, I had nothing to do with. 55 years later she still is.

On Monday, the day after the Beatles were on the Ed Sullivan show in 1964, a boy in my class came to school with bangs. The teacher sent him to the office for a scolding and when he came back to class his hair was combed in the standard crew cut that he had on Friday.

And the dress code stayed the same until the fall of 1972 when they practically did away with it.

Yeah, when the Beatles became a hit, some guys in school let their hair grow out and got a Beatle hair cut, which was against the school dress code, UNLESS you were Amish, then it was okay. Caused a bit of controversy, and eventually it was permitted, but boy's hair had to stay above the collar.
