Going gray


Going gray

Martha said she saw some grey in my beard the other day, and tried to take a picture to prove it. Maybe it’s just the low quality of the phone on my camera, but I don’t see it. I shaved to prevent further examination of the evidence, though.

    I think I do see a gray one, on the bottom right edge of your face. I have grey hair already and I can’t even grow a full beard!

    As you can tell I like to spell the same words different in the same comment. I hope it dozen’t take anything away from the comment itself.

    No, I always spell gray wrong too, but I usually catch it with spell check.

    Some of those are just lighter/blond, not actually gray.

    I’m telling you this whisker was GRAY! Of course he promptly went and shaved. I guess that is one way to get him to shave more often.
