Genetics, Where Art Thou?

Josh has recently become very interested in his hair. Last week he told me daily that his hair was too long and he needed it cut (those of you who have experienced Josh's earliest haircuts know how shocking this statement is). This week, he has taken to admiring Molly's hair, and now he tells me several times a day he wants his hair to be curly too.

Curly hair is not a stretch in our family. Chris sported quite a 'fro in his younger years, and I had no trouble achieving a full Farrah Fawcett feather (as many of you have recently seen on Facebook) back in the day. Josh, however, has not been graced with the curly gene, and his hair is a little puffy at best. I'm afraid that short of a perm, his longing for curls is going to be unrequited. But really, who wouldn't want hair that could do this?
