The debate is still on. Shave or not. For the past two mornings, she's asked me to comb through her hair and get the "loose" ones. Well, mom, pretty much, they're all loose. Yesterday, I got a pretty decent amount out. This morning, I got probably that much plus a bit more. However, yesterday it was only coming out the top of her head. Today I could "pull" the hair out at the nape of her neck. Didn't even hurt her. No resistance. Big amounts at a time. She asked if it looked alright. Well, mom, yes it does - pretty much. I mean, you've always had really, really thick hair. Now you just look like all the other women that have thin hair. You can see your scalp in some places but you still have pretty much even hair coverage. However, I don't know if I can say that too much longer. She just came in here and said, "You'll tell me when I have to wear a cap or something so I don't look ugly" - or something like that. Oh my goodness mom - you can never look ugly! But yes, I'll tell you. I wonder what she's going to be thinking the first time she wears a wig out in public. Will she be thinking, "I wonder if they can tell?" or "This is too hot" or "I wanna go home" or... Will she even go out? I don't know. I have a feeling that will be next week though. The vacuum is going to be getting a work out. Plus, hair in our food? Yeah, well, 1. It's mom's, 2. It's clean, 3. We didn't pay for the meal, 4. what's a little extra fiber?, and 5. Mom always puts her EVERYTHING in her love for cooking!
