Hair Migration

We are having fun with Granny! She's a great excuse to eat all sorts of not-quite-healthy foods ("hey, you've gotta try this, Mom!") AND I got to sleep for an extra hour this morning while she refereed the twins in the backyard. In her Scooby-Doo pjs. What a great Granny! This post is not about Granny, though. You will hear more of our fun with her later. I know you are disappointed, but life is not fair. This is what I'm posting about. My hairy husband. Actual conversation:

Zac: Look in my ear.
Me: Okay. (squinting)
Zac: It's really hairy!
Me: Um...yeah... (still squinting, the light is not good)
Zac: (kind of excited, like he's giving me a big present) But look in my OTHER ear!
Me: YUCK!!
Zac: (weirdly sort of proud) Yeah, that one's really hairy.

Do we sound like a crotchety old couple yet? Probably ear hair is the least surprising issue facing crotchety old couples, but it's gotta be a first step. So....guess what Z's getting for his next b'day? Maybe that's too long to wait. By October he might very well be able to braid it. I should just tweez them, that's always fun. Oh! And crotchety old couples don't mind broadcasting this sort of stuff, so see! We're well on our way! (Though if Z thinks he can post this sort of stuff about me....he is so busted. Not that there is anything to post, of course.)

How do I respond to that?

Okay I thought of something, since it's hard for men to admit (although not for Z) that they have nasty ear hair as cosmetologists we would just start trimming away!!!! And yes I have seen my share of nasty ear hair!

Sound like we're all getting old now

LOL - When my brother was in college, his roommate's grandparents always gave him a Christmas gift. The first year they gave him an ear hair trimmer! An odd gift when he had met them once.

Way to go Zac! I'd love to see it in a year or so, when you'll be moving to Poland.
