As I was mucking around on the computer the other day, my mother walked up behind me and said rather matter-of-factly, “hmm, there’s a hole here” whilst poking down on the top of my head. Noooooo!

“Didn’t you say that it wasn’t that big?!”

“I said it wasn’t that big but there’s a spot there. On the good side, your hair is very dark. I don’t see any grey at all. My hair started to grey when I was in my late 20s. You are taking after your father then. His hair is still very dark.”

“Yeah but he’s bald. When did he start balding?”

“Hmm, in his mid 30s?”

“…. I’m in my mid 30s, mom.”

“Well then …”

Heh. So I know my hairline is very high up, and it looks like it’s receding but it’s been like that for a while. Given a choice between a hairline that is creeping up and a bald spot developing on the top of my head, I’d rather have a receding hairline because then I can look like Agent Smith …

But that’s probably not gonna happen and I’m probably gonna lose hair in 2 directions. I hope I have a good looking skull.
