Balding
It starts one night at the dinner table when you are 17 and the smartest person in the world. You are looking at your father’s thinning hair and you tease him about it. He smirks while tapping his bald spot and tells you how his head is like looking into your own future. You respond with something about how in the future, baldness will be cured, then later you convince yourself that you inherited your grandfather’s full head of curly locks.
Then one day in your early twenties, while in the barber chair, you begin to deny what you are seeing.
Later, you are convinced that the small hairline recession above your left and right temples has stopped, but for some reason you decide to grow out your bangs.
Finally, reality sets in when your kid-brother sees you at Thanksgiving. The first thing out of his mouth is, “When did you start going bald....”
Acceptance hits in your thirties. The battle is over. You stop going to the barber and buy your own clippers and a No. 1 blade.
Revenge is when, one day you notice that your kid-brother is growing his bangs out……
The cycle of life is when your son is sitting in your lap. He taps your head where your hairline used to be and says, “Why do I have hair here, but you don’t?”
