The secret to a full head of hair- Revealed


I have really missed living out on my own lately, but I am enjoying the extra time that I get to spend with my parents. Over the past few months it has only been me and Mom and Dad at dinner time which has on many occasions brought up some interesting topics of conversation. Thanks to my Dad, tonight I have something to blog about. (Sorry that I am sharing your little secret)

My dad has been blessed with a nice full head of hair his whole life. His 3 older brothers have all lost the hair on their heads ever since I can remember knowing them. My Dad has always been pretty pleased with himself for having much more hair than any of his brothers.

At Dinner tonight my dad revealed his secret that is keeping him from going bald.

During dinner tonight I glances over at my Dad and noticed one lonely strand of hair about an inch down from the rest of his hair line. I pointed it out to my mom and we thought is should just be pulled out. Well upon reaching for it I found out that my Dad is very fond of this little piece of hair. And at no cost will he part with it. When inquiring further as to why he will not get rid of this little lonely hair his reply was "If I pull out that hair, all of the other hairs on the back of my head will fall out in rebellion." He went on to say how this hair is a survivor and that it is an example to the rest.

So, Dad I love you and although I really want to test out your theory, I don't want you to go bald (or I don't want to be the reason you went bald), so I promise to restrain myself from pulling it out when you fall asleep on the couch watching TV. I will let you keep it. I however make no promises for Mom.

Hang in there little hair.

Here's to hoping you didn't put too much pressure on that one hair and it falls out on its own. Your dad cracks me up. We need a griffitts/manderino reunion.

See that's the problem you girls have with hair, you rat it and dry it with hot hair dryers, you die it with chemicals all this and your hair is committed to you - through thick and thin (pun intended). But unfortunately for us guys our hair isn't so committed. If we start treating our hair like scum our hair wants a divorce - pronto. I agree with you knowledgeable father.
