The first gray hair of motherhood…
Well, it has finally happened. Cassidy is not even born yet and I have my first gray hair. I’ll replay the discovery scene for you:
I was washing my face and getting ready for bed when something caught my eye. For a minute, I thought I might still have some primer in my hair from when we painted, so I moved in a little closer to take a look. Nope…that wasn’t primer…and it wasn’t a blonde hair…it was my first gray hair! Right smack dab in the front for all to see! Now, I know you’re not supposed to, but in a moment of shock, I plucked it out so I could look at it better. Then, I went into the office to share my horrific discovery with my husband. Here is how that went:
Me: Look at this!
Brian: It’s a hair…
Me: No, it’s not just a hair!
Brian: It’s a blonde hair?
Me: No…it’s not a blonde hair! It’s a gray hair!! Your child isn’t even born yet and she is already giving me gray hair!!!
Brian: (proceeds to laugh his head off)
Now, this isn’t a total shock, considering that premature gray runs in my family. I mean, my grandfather had a full head of gray hair sometime in his twenties. Nevertheless, finding your first gray hair is a shocking experience…no matter how old you are…
