...about the same time as my friend Cliff, I've discovered my first gray hair! It's not there any more, because it was hard to see on my head, so I pulled it out to get a closer look and make sure it was a real, honest-to-goodness gray hair instead of a blond one from the last highlights I put in. But there it was! A gray hair. Based on my inspection, I'd say I just might inherit the beautiful silver hair my mom and her parents have.
Am I distraught over my newfound wisdom? Nah... Will I rush out and find a hair dye that covers grays? Nah... Gray hair happens to everybody, and fighting it usually just makes people look older. I may not even find another one for a few years! But if I do, that's fine with me.
I've always thought I'd like to have long hair when it goes gray. Or short, spikey hair like my mom's. Of course, those are the two extremes I like with my brown hair, too!

Oh, dear! You're getting sooooo old. Yeah, I always said when I get old I'm going to whack it off, spike it and dye it bright blond. I have no hope of anything else.
ReplyDeleteGirlfriend, I found my first gray hair when I was 15 or 16. I now actually have some streaks that are significant enough to show up in pictures. I'm WAY too young for that.
ReplyDeleteRight?
I keep going back and forth on the hair dye thing. I don't mind being totally gray someday. I just don't know if I'm quite ready for it yet.
A gray hair or two in your head will keep Jonathan from looking so old. -Dad
ReplyDelete@Dad: Haha! You're right! It won't look like he's robbing the cradle any more! :)
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the club! :) Is this a milestone?
ReplyDeleteYes, welcome to the club! I started getting my first greys when I was about 27, and they keep coming! I don't plan on doing anything to cover them up, either. I kind of feel like I've earned them. My dad has pretty silver hair, so I'm hoping mine is, too! :)
