Funny Story about Erik the Old Man
I make fun of Erik all the time for getting old because I am such a loving and caring wife like that. He's only 28 so he's not even nearing old, but the occasional gray hair or "dirty old man" joke finds it's way into our daily lives. I had just found a gray hair and lovingly plucked it from his head to show him. So the "old" thing was on the brain.
We were in Athena's room playing with blocks when she decided to start telling us the colors of everything. This is one of her new favorite games and I like it so much better than the "what's that?" game. She grabbed her hair and said "Athena's hair is red". So we asked her what color mommy's hair was and she told us "mommy's hair is black". I asked her what color daddy's hair was and without missing a step she pointed to his head and said "white".
I swear I almost peed myself. I think she was pointing at where the top of his head meets the forehead which is getting a little bit wider these days, which is funny enough on it's own, but I had JUST given him shit about the one gray hair. It was hysterical.
And because I have exposed my beloved husband's gray hair, I will now admit that I too have been finding a few grays here and there. It's more noticeable in my hair than in his though.
