grayness

this time last year i was standing in line at my ward's thanksgiving dinner party. the fellow next to me, who is a pretty good friend, reached over and ripped a gray hair out of my head. when i complained he justified his actions by saying that girls don't want gray hairs. i told him that next time he should at least warn me before he plucks. anyway, i noticed in my sister's photo recently that she has no visible gray hair. she's two years older. why should i be getting it before her? i think it's because i teach. except she's a home schooling mother so that reasoning doesn't perfectly work. maybe it's because i'm still single. yeah, that's it. anyway, my friend wasn't at the thanksgiving dinner party to pluck out offending hairs tonight.
