Yesterday, while I sat with Cecibel waiting for her to start her chores (which she attempts to put off by attaching herself to me in a persistent and irritating fashion) she saw a white hair on my head. I asked her to remove it, which she did.
It was not very long, maybe a month old, a little less. As Cecibel taunted me for being old I told her it wasn´t a very long white hair and that it must have started growing after I met her. She did not find this very funny, but I got her to laugh anyway. I thought it was funny - and probably accurate too. :) Shortly after that she left to do her chores.
About Me
- Karina
- Ever since I made my first big decision to leave home and leave behind my status quo life I have had one eye-opening experience after another. Leaving behind everything I knew has put me in touch with so much I had never known, both about myself and the world. Traveling has opened my eyes to other ways of life, other cultures, and other people. Now, as I re-insert myself into working society, I am bringing a fresh new perspective and hope to find a home well suited to it.

Ah the dreaded white hairs.
I started getting mine when I was around 25. Welcome to the club.
How old is Cecibel and why did you have to sit with her? And how do you know that a hair is only a "month old" based on length? Do you know exactly how quickly your hair grows? :P
Cecibel is 12. I´m supposed to make sure the girls do their chores after their snack. Cecibel sat next to me during the snack and refused to move after that. That is why I was sitting with her.
As for my hair - yes, I know the exact rate at which my hair grows and so it was very easy to do a quick estimate in my head based on the relative length. :)
Let me at 'em!!! I'll make sure a white hair never rears its ugly head again!!! Don't worry, I have my tweesers ready!
I've had white hairs all my life. It means your're really wise :-)
