A Touch Of Gay

Okay, I have to expose some truths. My whole life I have been confused about exactly how old my mom was. It wasn't until about ten years ago, that I finally nailed it down. To be fair to my mom I will not disclose her true age here, but suffice to say if she were a piano, she'd have all of her keys.

A few months back my mom casually said to me, "Alan, I wish you would let your hair grow a little longer, and maybe put a little 'Just For Men' in there to darken it. You look so old with the short hair and grayness." Well, I figured it out immediately, "You want me to look younger so that you will look younger, right?" My mom let out a little chuckle, and agreed "I can't have such old children, besides I like your hair a little longer." Who is this lady? What did you do with the woman who hated my long hair forty years ago?

So the truth is that yes, I used some of that stuff called 'A Touch of Gray', on the hair that I've been letting grow out a little longer over the past few months. Mom was right, I do look better and have got a few positive comments on my upgraded look. Now if they only had something called 'A touch of Abs' to smear on that jelly belly I've been nurturing.
