Dear Lord: Please Don’t Let Bobo’s Head Resemble His Father’s Own

African Father Talks to 4 year old son

There are moments when the truth just stares you in the face.  One of such moments is when you see a man and a child standing side-by-side.  Let’s assume it’s a boy, since it’s more common to see a little boy sporting a haircut than a girl.  With some exceptions.  The haircut is important because it allows you to observe the head shapes of both parties without any distractions.  Suku (Yes that Shuku hairstyle) is a distraction.  By the way, I won’t spend this entire post talking about head shapes.  But let’s just play along.  Let’s say it’s a man and a boy.  You may not even see their faces.  In fact, there’s no need.  A mere glance at the father’s ipako (back of head) or ogo and the child’s own will bring you to this conclusion:
