The ‘Stache.

Middle One: Why did Maymo want his hair cut so short? Is William BALD?

Me: Not quite bald, no, but he does have very short hair.

Middle One: So the hair on his head is the same length as your mustache, Mom?

Me: Ummm…

..And then I remembered that we had a conversation a few days ago about how everyone’s body is covered – completely – in tiny little hairs. Some are visible and some are not and, during that conversation, it came up that yes, girls DO have mustaches but most of the time that hair is really short and light and you can’t see it.

I’m just going to go with that explanation and not rush out to buy ‘stache wax.

    Ouch. Yes, it’s amazing how kids think.

    My mom once had someone’s kid on her lap honk her boob and say, “What are these? My mom doesn’t have these.”

    Maymo likes to stroke mine and then, when I tell him to stop because it’s not an appropriate thing to do, he’ll say, “But, mom? You can rub mine if you want! It’s okay!” Heeee!

    Ha, ha. I totally now remember the day I asked my mom if she had a moustache, peering closely at her upper lip. She said “yes, and so do you.” Eek!
