If I were bald ...

My maternal grandfather looks a bit like Charlie Brown - he is bald.  When my brother was 3 or 4 years old, Mom informed Logan that because her father was bald, he had a chance of being bald when he got older.  (The gene for baldness is carried on the X chromosome ... and I have no idea why some women don't go bald like men do.  I should look that up.)

A few days later, Mom found Logan checking himself out in the bathroom mirror.  He was pulling his hair back, as if pondering what he would look like if he were bald.  Mom asked him what he was doing.

"You know, I guess I wouldn't mind being bald ..." he said thoughtfully.  "Then I would have more time to wash my armpits!"



I thought of this story because I noticed the kind of shampoo my brother uses:

Head & Shoulders Hair Endurance for Men

I won't ask who picked it, because I think my thoughts are funnier than real life.


ETA: So I broke down and asked Logan about it.  He said his friend borrowed some shampoo from one of the leaders at High Adventure over the summer and all of the guys thought the shampoo smelled amazing.  (Everyone gets really really stinky after a week of camping.)  So Logan went out and bought some Head & Shoulders shampoo and now his friends are jealous of how good he smells (he's kind of like the Old Spice guy!)  I pointed out that he bought the "Hair Endurance" kind and it cracked him up, too.
