gray hairs

last week one of the kids that i work with pulled out a couple of my gray hairs while she was ever so nicely fixing my hair. then she and i found it good to pass the time by pulling out my gray hairs while we waiting for her sister. which left me wanting to pull more and more out, as if as some point they might all be gone. i mean for years i've been letting the grays grow. they aren't even that noticable unless you start really looking. but i've found myself pulling a few out here and a few out there. tonight i stood in front of the mirror and pulled out 20 or so before i realized, they are not all going to come out and this is a bad idea. now, not only am i going to have gray hairs, but i'm going to have lots of little short gray hairs that are probably sticking up, because who here has noticed that gray hairs are wirey? yuck, in their own beautiful sort of way. i'm only a quarter of a century years old, dang.
