You know what I'm talking about...
We ALL have them.
One day, you go to brush something off your arm when hey... it didn't fall off!
*brush again, with more vigor!*
It's STILL... there....
*tug*
Uh oh.
*tug tug*
It's attached.
What's even WORSE is when someone (*cough*Dustin*cough* hee hee) reaches to brush the hair off the bridge of your nose, only to have it not come off, thus proceding to pull on it, despite your "Ow!"s and "I think it's attached!" pleas, only to be met with "No, it CAN'T be attached, it's too long!!" as a reply.
When this "someone" finally yanked it free, he was in fact convinced it WAS, like I said, attached. :)
Not too long after, I noticed the abnormally long hair growing on his ear lobe. It was a rather funny coincidence.
We ALL have these! I know of two on me--the bridge of the nose (but it's blond and invisible) and the one on my left hip that I never notice until it's about an inch long. (In fact, this entry came to mind as I was lying on my bed just now and the sunshine shone on that silky shiny blond one incher...)
Did you know that each hair in your body has a "length limit" programmed inside? Think about the fact that your eyebrows never grow longer than a quarter of an inch or so, or leg hair, or nose hair, or anywhere else. The only hair that doesn't have a strict limit is the hair on top of your head.
It's just every so now and then... that rogue hair or two stands up and says, "I will not conform!" and before you know it there's this hair so long it falls in your soup.
How do we not realize it's there until it's so long!? Maybe it just grows in one spurt overnight?? You know, to make up for lost time?
I hope you all find your non-conformist hairs... and believe your friends when they "Ow! I think it's attached!" v(^_^)v
