Today at work, while washing my hands, I noticed a crazy hair sticking-up on top of my head. Upon further inspection, I felt like it looked sort of wavy, which is completely different from my stick-straight hair. As I got up close and personal with the mirror, I realized that the color of the hair was VERY different from my "natural" color.
Oh my Lordy, I think I found my first gray hair!!! I pulled it out, took it back to my classroom and put it into a Ziploc bag....very CSI I know! I wanted to hold it up against something black just to verify it's color. Well folks, its official, I found my first gray...or maybe white hair??? It may not be my first, and it might not be all alone up there, but it was the only one I noticed.
During dinner, I asked the kids to guess what I found on my head that day. Neither of them guessed, so I told them that Mama found her first gray hair. I asked them what they thought it meant now that I had my first gray. Gracie Myers didn't skip a beat and she said, "It means you're a genius!" (love her). Then big brother Paxson looked at her and said, "No it doesn't Gracie Myers, it just means that Mama is starting to get really, really old".....Ouch!
Out of the mouths of babes!
