the problem with these milestones is that they count down, not up

Also, this morning, I found a grey hair trying to hide insouciantly in a whorl of bangs. Had to yank it out to make sure it just wasn't a trick of the lighting. It wasn't a trick of the lighting.

You, my friend, I shall name Proof Positive.

Ahahaha, how cute. I totally went gray before my own Huncle.

That is to say, I have had gray hairs since I was, I believe, 15. And I didn't find one gray then; oh no, I found a robust cluster of 5-10. It was quite a site to behold.

My poor boyfriend (23) is going gray; not poor because it's bad (I actually like how it looks) but because I really, REALLY enjoy pulling out his gray hairs. Like, I can be mesmerized by doing this for an hour. Seriously. He doesn't usually withstand the discomfort for as long, however. :)

A cluster of 5-10 is, like, a swath. And it's fun to say swath. A white swath of hair.

Martha had a little cluster of white hairs on her chest. You wouldn't notice until you saw it up close, she was such a tiny black cat, but she had just a sprinkle.
