Well, any of you out there that have boys know that boys do not like to comb their hair! What is the big deal?
We are always rushing out the door and for some reason I never notice the boys hair until we are already on the road. Needless to say it usually is a mess. So we devised a little on the road solution: I have the boys stick their head out the windows when we are going fast and it blows their hair back and makes it look like they combed it! It works great! They even like to play around with different styles by turning their head to the left or right or making their hair look feathered 70s style. 

It just so happens that we are using a friends mini van because my husband was in an accident with one of our vehicles. We were off to run track this morning (running late and in a hurry of course) so I told the boys my usual "stick your head out the window to comb your hair". The boys then told me that this van is nothing like my suburban - "you can't roll any of the back windows down"!!!! I couldn't believe it! Now only the child sitting in the front passenger seat can have neat hair - how ridiculous! This van must have been designed by a woman who has never had to stick her head out the window to straighten her hair out and must be the mom of only daughters! I guess I can never drive a mini van because then my boys would always have messy hair.
If only I could invent something to do this and get rich. Of course someone already has - it is called the hair dryer and the comb but you have to convince your boys to use them before you walk out the door! I need something portable, light, and fun. I'll have to work on that one.
