Shave!!!

"Go shave!" my mother yelled.
It had to be the hundredth time she had said that today. It started with whispers but now grew into louder yells with each passing minute.
I had been away in school for almost a year and had grown a big beard and moustache. My mother always hated them.
I lazily got up and headed out to go get a shave when I bumped into Peter.
Peter was my closest friend and we had just got back from school together. He sure looked very different for someone who I had just seen the previous day.
"What happened?" I asked.
"What do you mean what happened?" He replied.
"Your face, it looks different. What's missing?" I said with a stern curious look on my face.
"My beard is gone of course, as usual. How didn't you notice that since?" Peter said with an almost angry look.
"Well, welcome home I guess." I said jokingly with a wicked smirk.
That's the one thing Peter and I have in common. Each time we come visiting home we lose our beards to mother's yells.
"I'm heading out to shave" I said as I giggled funnily.
He knew I had succumbed to my mum's yells as well. We both laughed as we strolled off to the salon swearing to never accept defeat from our mothers again.
