well played, Paige

Cuckoo club

She got her grey hair from all her teenage pimples.

Hey, I earned every gray hair on my head and wear them proudly. Of course there’s less of it on my head than there used to be but still…

Nowadays it is like “Hey! Is that a BROWN hair I see?”

I don’t have gray hair. It’s white.

“Yes. This one is named Jason. This one is Paige. This one is Peter. This one is Jason again. Here’s another Paige…This one is Roger.”

I don’t get the big deal about grey hairs. I started getting them at 30. My husband likes it, my daughters love it, and more importantly, I love it.

I’ll see your peer pressure and raise your vanity.

I recently watched Disney/Pixar’s “Turning Red” which kind of deals with a girl “becoming a woman.” Some of the things her mother pulls, though I’m a man, caused cringing that I STILL haven’t recovered from yet. (And caused some complaints among certain population segments.) When you see it, note the reaction of the father when he realizes what direction the conversation is heading in.

And within moments, two women locked themselves in the bathroom and were not scene or heard from until the new year.

She could go to school wearing a mask like one of the ladies in Deuce Bigelow European Gigilo…

I’ll take gray hair over pimples every time.

I’m not particularly fond of physical changes that accompany growing older, but I don’t freak out over them.

Touché, Paige.

I know this sounds sexist; but they are proving the saying ‘vanity, they name is woman’.

Brutal but fair.
