A few White hair

Today R's maid (I've converted my super efficient cook into R's nanny, given that she had had prior experience of babies and gotten back my old experienced cook- well, he just presented himself one fine day and the temptation to have a few minutes to myself once again proved to be too much, so now we've got a couple of hands helping us) pointed out that I had several strands of White hair on my crown. So? was my first and natural reaction. These selfsame strands had once freaked my mum out- a couple years back I think- she had sadly rued the fact that her just-30-year-old-daughter had about 10-15 White hair... It's all those chemicals- the rebonding, the colouring, the zany cuts... Well- my mum just needs an excuse to take off on my choice of hair and just because I had a few uncoloured ones, I wasn't going to let her trample over my yearning for a fringe again... It's the genes, I told her then, silencing her but only for the time being. Now, when I meet her next, I'm going to conveniently heap the blame onto R and my pregnancy- I've had the best textbook pregnancy- stiff fingers, bleeding gums, high BP, high weight gain, high sugar levels... So what's a few White hair? Eh?
