We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

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.

Because books.

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.

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.)

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Ha, my mom must have had awful heartburn, then, because I came out looking like those troll dolls.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
