  • Checkmate, part 2

    If you're not familiar with my mom's views on sankapul, please read "Checkmate, part 1." It will provide context for the conversation that follows.

    Longtime readers of my blog know that my mom is the funniest member of my family. Despite my best efforts, I have never been able to put one over on her.

    Recently, she made a random comment.

    Mom: Mark, your dad had thin hair when he got older, so I want you to be careful.
    Me: Um, what exactly am I supposed to do about it?
    Mom: (can't think of anything)
    Me: (thinking to myself) Yes, I finally win one!
    Mom: Get married before you go bald.
    Me: Crap.

    Later on, I repeated the conversation to a friend over IM.

    Friend: i don't think u have anything to worry about
    Me: lol thanks, very comforting
    Friend: you have LOTS of hair on your head
    Me: okay, okay
    Friend: you have PLENTY of hair for 2-3 people
    Me: is that a good thing?

  • Hi Mark! haha...funny posting! =P.  I think they have hair implants now so you're good. haha!

  • You should tell your mom that baldness is x-linked recessive so as long she's not balding...

  • sounds like your friend just called you sasquatch.  its ok though it will come in handy later on in life.  look at DK.  

  • pwnd

  • Amazing how moms can come up with the best arguments/responses for everything.

  • It's amazing how similar our moms are.  My mom has been complaining about my hair loss since high school.  BTW you have nothing to worry about because your brain and head are large enough for 2-3 ppl.

  • i figured out what happened.  Nestle makes this amazing french vanilla cappachino and somehow i got hooked onto it for the past month since we get it for free.  and me having korean blood in me, i live for free stuff... so i got addicted.

    thus... i need to cut it out.  :(

    .....eh... but maybe 1 cup a week?  :P
