Easton has had amazing hair since he was born. In the 3rd grade he was inspired by some of his favorite baseball players to start growing his hair longer in the back. This was an easy decision since he also plays baseball. At the same time, his elementary school Art teacher mentioned a "mullet contest" she had recently heard about and encouraged him to enter. We perused the pictures and Easton began to get excited at the prospect of being recognized by such an organization. Over the last three years, he's become famous for his hair. He continues to receive compliments and "atta-boy's" from family, friends, and fellow baseball players/coaches at different tournaments. Strangers (local and international) regularly stop him to give him accolades, tell him his mullet is the best they've ever seen and even ask to touch it! It has become part of his identity and the naysayer's have never dissuaded him from keeping it! Unfortunately, the middle school he will soon attend does not treasure the time and effort it took to achieve his flowing locks nor do they value the business in the front and party in the back the way we all do. Therefore, Easton will have to cut his beloved mullet in the Fall. To find some silver lining from this Shakespearean tragedy, he plans to donate his hair to an organization that makes wigs for children who have lost their hair.
