Stopped at stoplight on my way to tutoring last night, I was fiddling with my hair when I saw a curious sight. One hair seemed to be really, really blonde. This is strange, as I am definitely NOT a blonde. Highlights, maybe, but this was even lighter than that. So I isolated it and yanked it out. To my horror, I found that it was NOT just really blonde.
It was grey.
GREY!!!
I had found my first grey hair. It's inevitable, I suppose, but right then, sitting in my car at Clark and King Ed, a little part of me died inside.
*sob*
*giggle!*

I feel your pain. I found my first grey hair about a month ago. I spent about 2 weeks convinced that it wasn't really a grey hair, and then thinking that okay it was a grey hair, but it wasn't because of old age. I was convinced I had a b12 deficiency and then perhaps a thyroid problem and oh .... I think I just need to accept it. It really sucks to have a grey hair, and not even have any children to blame it on.
I've had a few myself. And if it makes you feel any better, Anne noticed one on Alina. It was immediately yanked. I'm praying it was a fluke.. :)
Me too. More than one. Several more, actually. I've stopped yanking them out, so that's progress in self-acceptance, right?
I found my first one when I was 18. My friend's kid pointed it out and I told them it was a highlight. When I pulled it out to prove it to them, it actually was a highlight. Then later when I was looking in the mirror I thought "but that one doesn't look like a highlight..." -And *that* one was gray.
Didn't bother me though. I thought it was kind of funny.
Wait 'till you find a striped one. I had a few of those early on. Like my hair thought it was going to be brown for 1/4-inch, then decided it wanted to be gray instead, then decided it wanted to be brown again, then gray, then brown... My hair was having an identity crisis.
it's ok hillary, I found my first one about 3yrs ago, and I was how old then?
