Kids say funny things

Losing my hair has been less difficult than I had imagined. Don't get me wrong, it is strange and I'm still rather shocked when I look in the mirror. But, surprisingly, I'm just not that bothered by it. I'm far less self-conscious about it than I expected and actually, I'm enjoying the ease of getting ready in the morning with no hair. My favorite part of all of this though is some of the reactions I get from kids. Here are a few examples that I can remember. . .

7 year old girl - After a couple of days, spending quite a bit of time together, she says to me, "Could you put something on your head. I'm getting tired of looking at it so bald." (said with a smile)

12 year old boy - When his parents mentioned to him that I had lost my hair, (just to prepare him before seeing me) he turns to them and says, "I'll just tell her that's okay and let her know I have the same problem down there" (as he gestures toward his pants)

6 year old girl - After asking me why I didn't have any hair and hearing me say, "I'm kind of sick and need to take medicine that makes my hair fall out", she says, "Well you look sorta wierd, but you're still pretty to me"

5 year old girl - She knows that I am "sick" and take medicine that makes my hair fall out from her parents, so she says to me, "I can watch your chiwala (chihuahua) when you take your hair medicine"

2 1/2 year old girl - As she sits on my lap she begins rubbing the top of my head and says, "You have no hair. . . but, you have eyes and those things" (as she points to my eyes and eyebrows)

3 year old boy - Although he's seen me several times with no hair and has never so much as looked twice, he sees me again as if its the first time, and says "Hey, you have no hair. . . it went bye bye?"

You've got to love the purity and honesty of kids. . . .
