Mine is never clear. Computers, dinners, homework, drinks, chats, mail, work stuff. We've started using a card table to play games on. My husband thinks it will confuse our regular table into clearing itself.
I never cut my son's hair, or was at a haircut for my son, until he was at least 8. Before that, his Grandma (Nana), would wisk him away to the Barber shoppe in Lawrence, before I could ever even think that he needed a haircut. It annoyed me.
