Keating's latest adventure

One of the things I love about Keating is that he is always ready to try something new and to do something on his own here despite his struggles with the language. This is how for Christmas he ended up eating Fruit Loops and whole milk for breakfast -- he had gone shopping on his own. He was pretty well buzzed all day, and the next day made it a mission to find not-whole milk of any percentage. During our first week here, he wanted to ask the waiter in the restaurant we were in for the bill. Unfortunately, he asked for "the cheese" instead, resulting in some definite confusion.

Today, he is trying his hand at something new: while I am work, Keating is going to go get his hair cut. He is armed with the word "corto," or short. I can't wait to get home tonight to see how it comes out. Will he be bald, or nearly so? Will the barber figure out what Keating is hoping for? Or will he still be washing the cheese out of his hair when I get home?
