What if we were all bald...
I rushed out the door this morning and didn’t realize until I was standing in the elevator of the office building that I hadn’t brushed my hair. Hadn’t even given it a single thought. Sometimes it’s a wonder I don’t leave the house without my pants on. (That’s likely something Mike would do… on purpose, heh.)
Luckily I have one of those short haircuts that can be tamed with a bit of finger-combing. I wouldn’t want to have it any other way, because then I’d look like wild woman half the time. I’d have to start leaving myself embarrassing notes that said, “Remember to brush hair.”
I often think, wouldn’t it be nice if humans didn’t have hair on their head? I mean, what purpose does it serve anyway? The only thing good about it is it keeps the tops of our heads from getting sunburned. And while that is a useful thing, hats are even better at it. Imagine if everyone was bald, people would save so much time. Shower times would be cut in half; morning preparations also cut in half. You wouldn’t have to waste time getting haircuts or dyeing it. It would be awesome.
A lot of industries would be out of business though. Hair is a huge business. Shampoos, hair sprays, barbers, beauty salons, styling gel, hair dye, frizz control… the list goes on and on. All those things would be unnecessary. Wouldn’t that be weird? You’d clear an entire aisle at the grocery store if we had no hair.
Lame thoughts, I know. These are the things that crowd the precious space in my brain. No wonder I forgot to brush my hair.
You know who likely never forgets such things? Why yes, it’s my renter! She’s got nice long hair that would probably look good even if it was wild. Head on over and say hi!
