When did I get so old?
Last night when I was brushing my teeth I happened to glance up at the mirror.
"Oh," I thought "there's a cathair on my head. Well that's what I get for having a white cat."
So, I went to remove the Circe hair from my head.
But there was a problem.
It seemed to be attached to my head.
A white hair, NOT black, attached to MY HEAD!
"AH! NOOOOOOOO!!!!" screamed I.
"Wuh ish ih?" asked Chris from around a mouthful of toothpaste.
"A grey hair! I'm not suposed to have grey hair! Ooooh! Noo! I don't want to be old!"
So I plucked it. It's sitting beside my keyboard now. I'm trying to take consolation in the fact that it's a rather pretty sparkly white rather than a dull iron grey or something like that, but really.
I'm too young for this!!
(And it doesn't help that my mother started going grey pretty young. Sigh.)

heh... yeah, that's pretty startling, isn't it? i was about thirty when my daughter was in Children's Hospital and my first few showed up, so i got to tease her a little bit about them being her fault. ;) NOW, of course, the youngest two lean over the back of the couch and pick through my hair arguing over which of them caused which grey hairs, until i get tired of it and dye my hair (which happens about once a year).
*hugs*
it was VERY startling, *lol* and I can't figure out how it got to be nearly 4 inches long without me noticing!
Grey hairs do that. They emerge fully-grown from your head, just like Athena from the head of Zeus. I've had a few of those already, and they certainly do have a way of smacking one's noggin' with the AGE hammer. -_-
I'm horrified to hear that you pulled it out, though! Don't you know that pulling one out only causes five more to appear the next day?! Go for dye, next time. ;)
You're not old. A silver strand here and there is far from a grey head.
ahh, they do that. especially when you've been busy and distracted, and i can't IMAGINE you being either of THOSE lately! O_o ;)
*hugs*
