I was sitting with a first-grade class at lunch on Wednesday. I was sitting there listening to the chatter when two girls said, "Mrs. Rowland! You have something white in your hair!" Now, because I had my hair down and because I was eating mashed potatoes, my very first thought was that somehow I had gotten mashed potatoes in my hair.

I started trying to get whatever was in my hair out of my hair, but I couldn't find anything. The girls, helpful to the last, kept pointing and saying, "It's right there!"

At last, a chunk of my hair fell forward to where I could see it and could see what they were pointing at.

There was a pause.

I said, "Girls, my hair is white."

They sat back, impressed. "But...how did you get the white in your hair? Did you use spray?"

"Girls," I said, "I'm old!"

That's kinda cute :) I like that they didn't even consider that to be an option.

Badges of Distinction for Events Endured (BoDEE for short), m'dear. We're not old, we're experienced! And I hold to the axiom that youth and enthusiasm will never over come experience and treachery.
