August 01, 2003A MilestoneGentle readers, I have reached a milestone. I went for a haircut today. That’s nothing special other than it has been too long, and my hair had gotten much too long and curly. It was like every other haircut I’ve had since 1994 when I settled on this hairstyle. Until. My haircutter is a lady named Lisa. She is a fine lady and always a pleasure to talk to while getting my locks knocked down. We go through the same steps. I sit down, she puts the cape around me. She grabs the clippers, snaps on a #3 guard and starts in on the sides of my head. We chat away. Except today, she wasn’t quite as talkative when she first set to clipping my hair. When the first wad of clipped hair fell onto the cape in front of me, I instantly knew why. Keep On Reading To Learn Of My Milestone Today I have my first gray hairs. I. Have. My. First. Gray. Hair.S. I was stunned at first; stopped talking in mid-word. “Oh, yeah, Lisa, it was incred----Wait. What is that? Lisa is that? Is that a gray hair?!?!” “Uhm-hmmm.” “You weren’t going to say anything were you?” “Nope.” “Lisa, that’s a gray hair! You know I ask you every time I come in whether you’ve noticed any gray hairs!” “I know it.” “But, Lisa, that’s gray hair right there.” “It’s okay now, hon. You can barely even tell it as light as your hair is.” “Well, yeah, but its gray hairs.” (at this point I have become uncontrollably giggly) “Look, you just hardly see it and it’s just standing out because it’s on that dark cape.” “Well, okay. But that’s gray hair.” “Hon, it’ll be alright. Besides when men get gray hair they’re supposed to look more distinguished. When women get gray, they’re considered a washed up old hag.” “Lisa, I’m just 28 years old. I can’t be having gray hair yet.” “Look Adam, I had a girl in here whose hair I had cut for a long time when she found her first one. I thought she's gonna start crying in the chair—Stop laughing and moving around!—you’ll have gray hair and gap in your part.” “Sorry. (still giggling) I have gray hair! Maybe this means I won’t go bald if I go gray this early.” “Oh hell.” “Ooooh—maybe it means I’ll have gray hair and be bald! Wouldn’t that be sexy!” “Look, you can barely tell it’s there. Don’t worry about it.” “Oh, and my parents will be so proud. I give them gray hair before I give them grandkids. They’ll be thrilled.” "Damn, Adam." Comments
