Samson Loses His Strength!
July 25, 2006Nathan loves to have his hair brushed .. it lulls him into a semiconscious state but we found today that actually cutting his hair puts him immediately to sleep. He was awake at the beginning of the procedure but the first cut (for him) was the kindest of all and he zonked.
It made me think that perhaps he is like Samson .. cutting his hair saps him of his strength. Notice the similarities between the above photo and the painting done by Francisco Moore depicting Samson and Delilah. In the MIMK version however the role of Delilah was played by Nathan’s Gramma.
A great series of posts. Mom’s “cat-like” agility has been noted. The main difference, that I see, between Nathan and Samson is Nathan’s lack of a beard. Other than that - same guy.
