The First Purge

The first time I lost everything, I was five years old. For most American boys, the first introduction to shaving (or “buzzing”) your head comes from when you first get lice. I remember my mother led me to the back porch. There, she buzzed my head outside, took me to the bathtub, and scrubbed my scalp. Soon, it was time to lose my toys too.
