That kid needs a haircut.
lol. That a unique observation.
Agreed. Kids in those days wore their hair longish only because they went a long time between hair cuts. But occasionally mom or dad would cut off a hunk with a knife.
Old joke...Johnny, now having turned 17, driving and wanting to “borrow” Dad’s car, was getting no where because Dad wanted him to get a haircut. “Come on dad! What’s wrong with long hair? Tommy wears his long, the girls really like it, and besides, even Jesus had long hair!” “Well, son” said good ol’ Dad. “You’re right. Jesus did have long hair, and guess what? Jesus walked!”
