legs

i guess because half of me comes from a stock of relatively hairless people i have some how made it into adulthood with barely any hair on my arms or legs. many of you know this about me. well, this morning, after i got out of the shower, i was putting lotion on my legs and found a white hair that at first i thought belonged to the cat, but it was attached to my leg! and, i shit you not, it was like...2 inches long. at least. incredible.
when i was growing up my mother had this one hair that grew out of her chin. she never plucked it because she said it was good luck. sometimes people would see it and think that it was some stray cat hair or something and reach over and try to get it off her face and they would pull it out. she would scream and cry about how they stole her luck away from her and then wait for weeks for it to grow back. then the cycle would repeat itself.
i'm not saying that my leg hair is good luck or any sign of wisdom, but it just made me think of that. like the guy at tan tan.
