The following will amuse my loyal readers...at my expense of course. From what I hear balding skips a generation, and by all accounts I tend to believe it. My grandfather is mostly bald and has been for quite a while. My father, on the other hand, has a beautiful head full of hair so thick your hand will get stuck in it. Anyway, for the past several years I've been slowly losing my battle with genetics as my hair becomes thinner and thinner.
Today I was reminded of this by one of my lovely students in the middle of a brief lecture on the finer points of various reading comprehension skills. The student raised her hand mid lecture, and I naturally thought it was a question about the topic of discussion. Instead, the student said the following when called on, "Mr. Styron...your hair is really thinning."
I thanked her for the comment and continued on with class. You've got to love 7th graders!
