Will (right) and cousin Nat

My kids unkindly keep reminding me that I am losing hair. They love to look down at the places where my hair used to be thick and bushy like a badgers back, and poke at it with their fingers.

It is a regular theme for my boy Will.

I try to suggest that we have enough common genetics to suggest that he will follow in my follicles.

But today, he had an answer.

“I will never go bald like you because I am always going to have hair long”

We laughed- but he did not get the joke. Ah the innocence of hirsute youth…
