Surprise Visitor on My Head
My first gray hair.
It grew out of nowhere.
I’ve never been one to freak out over my age or anything, but I honestly can’t believe I sprouted a gray hair before I had my first child.
I’m constantly examining it in the mirror. I decided not to yank it out even though it’s not silky and pretty. Instead, it’s coarse and wiry. In other words, It’s totally ugly…but in a cute kind of way.
I’m keepin’ it.

You're a better woman than me. I completely freaked out when I found my first gray hair... guess I thought that I would somehow be immune. Anyway - you're in good shape if this is your first. Maybe all that juicing has slowed your aging process?

Work it Jenny. Tell it who's boss.

Just wait until you get your first one "down there," that's when the freak out really has some stayin' power!

Gee, thanks, Carrie!
It was my first child who actually noticed my first grey hair. I'm with you, though, I kept mine, too. I just don't let the kids up on the counter in my bathroom anymore. I want to find the next one on my own.

Kari, I was trying to think of a funny response to Carrie's comment. I think "Gee, thanks" captures my thoughts perfectly.

I'm calling Carrie "Greybeard" from hear on out.

And here I am, thinking that you've got it made when you can still count your gray hairs. Up there, down there, anywhere at all.

Learn to spell "here," Miss Smarty Pants!

LOL. The bantering. I cracked up when I saw Carrie's comment. Too funny.
I started having gray hair in my mid-thirties (or at least that is when I first noticed-I used to dye my hair a light blonde color. I have a good sprinkling of it around my head. Let's call it fairy dust, shall we? Natural glitter. :)

Don't worry, Jenny. Your dark hair is only sliding south...to the chin. It's proof that God has a sense of humor when our heads go gray and our facial hair resembles that of a lumberjack...
