My beard is too short when it’s just been trimmed, but then it reaches this optimal length where I’m very happy with it. And then, suddenly and quite without warning, in a split second it goes from optimal length to too long and unruly. It’s annoying.
I mean, if the connection is there, why not embrace it? Or at least start calling him “Van” and teach him the chorus to “Brown-Eyed Girl.” That’s pretty easy.
