Hovering

On an impromptu stop at a Wal Mart, my mother decided to get G's hair cut. He needed a cut desperately and she was being the good grandmother and getting that little chore out of the way while they were out shopping.

Well, "the girl" my mother called her, sat G down and mother explained to her that once he removes his CIs that he'll hear nothing. Mother proceeded to explain how he wanted his hair trimmed up and assured "the girl" that she'd stand close by in case she needed her to communicate for her while he was off air.

Hmm, "the girl" got really nervous and told my mother she'd have to go sit down and not hover over her while she cut hair....(hover over her?) Yep. As you can imagine, that didn't go over well with G's grandmother. Mom said, "I'm not sitting down until I'm certain you know how he wants his hair cut!"

Needless to say, he got a slight trim and we'll just see that he gets to his regular barber (who is much more understanding and nicer) than some people tend to be. Completely made the Gman uncomfortable as well as mom but they both learned something from their impromptu stop.
