File Under "D" for Dumb

I colored my hair today.

While the dye was seeping into my pores and slowly poisoning me, I had the same thought that I always do while coloring. Namely:

Why is it that boys feel the need to point out little flaws like grey hairs?

I'm not talking about Mr. Q - he's far too bright for that. But Roundboy used to do it regularly, and this summer when I saw B, he leaned over, looked at my hairline reeaaally closely and said "What's that? Is that some grey I see?"

Why?

Are boys really that dumb that they don't realize I'm filing it away for later and that paybacks rhyme with witch? Also - why is it always the guys who are losing their hair who insist on commenting on the color of mine?

Though the next time Roundboy says it, I swear to God I'm going to tell him I couldn't help noticing that he's still fat and bald. And that he is sad because he spent 19 years in college and still can't get a job.

So there.
