Grey hair...

Just as an aside before the post:  it has always bothered me that you can spell grey/gray two different ways and both are equally correct.  Irritating.

A frequent theme here is how young I look.  Well, a new development in this is that I've started to get some grey hair.  It's not very noticeable unless we're in very bright light, but it's there.  The problem is, I still have a face that makes me look 25.

Patient:  "Doctor, I know you think it makes you look older, but I wouldn't get those grey highlights again if I were you."

Me: "..."

my husband is getting his first sprinkles of gray hair, which are likely more noticeable because's he's african. i think it's sexy. he hates it.

he wants to dye it. i think that's insanity! plus an unnecessary expense.... think i should give him my blessing, in support of his self-esteem?

i dunno... his face still looks younger than mine, in spite of the eight year age difference...

Maybe you'll end up a silver fox. You could be mistaken for Anderson Cooper.

25? You have it good. I've had patients refuse to talk to me and demand someone who's old enough to vote. :)

I got carded to place a bet at the racetrack last year while holding a beer and a cigar. The age limit to bet was 18.

My cousin had to grow a beard (short and well kept) before patients would believe he was old enough to be a physician.
