Stephanie, that bites.
Yeah, if hair-pulling isn't against the rules, it seems like a strategic disadvantage to have it.
In rugby, that would be a high tackle and would be a penalty. It should be, too, in football, if they are serious about preventing head injuries.
IIRC, heartburn during pregnancy correlates with babies with lots of hair. For whatever that's worth.
That's interesting! I had no heartburn, and all three kids were born with very little white-blond fuzz.
I'll have to ask my mother, because I was born with an inch of dark hair all over my little noggin -- looked like I had stuck my finger in a socket.
Hey, Neil Gaiman is on
The Simpsons
tonight!
It's definitely held true among the 4 moms/6 kids in my building. (My understanding is it's a real statistical correlation but honestly not really worth studying so nobody knows what the actual connection is.)
Ha, my mom must have had awful heartburn, then, because I came out looking like those troll dolls.
