searching for the fountain of youth

It's begun. The irreversible process has finally started. I can no longer pride myself on being me. No longer shake my head at the lengths people go to conceal the signs. No longer boast about never looking my age.

I have found...a grey hair.

To add insult to injury, it was my student...my YOUNG student, who pointed it out to me and found my subsequent denials so amusing that she decided to go right ahead and yank the abomination right off my head and show me the hard evidence (see exhibit A).

"Once you've found one, the next is not far behind" - Mum (whilst unsuccessfully comforting a grieving Ky)

...Tis a cruel day indeed.

Ky (approx.) age: 18 years, 5 months, 13 days, 6 hours, 20 minutes, [insert certain number] seconds and counting... :(

I thought I saw one in the car mirror the other day, but it turned out to be light brown!

You're worried about ONE? Most people at uni have lots of white hairs! Just take a gander.

Is it genetic? How many greys does Chris have?

(This word verification is so difficult! krbmxaba!)
