“Hey Trace, do you think I could use your hair color on my beard?”
What hair color – this is my natural color!!
“Yeah, okay – the non-hair color that I see you apply every month when evidently you are having an out of body experience?”
Oh, that hair color..No, it is a one time application and then you have to throw it away because of all the bad chemicals in it that I pollute my body with. What do you need it for?
“Well my beard came in really gray..”
What beard – when did you grow a beard?? (I turn and look up at my husband..) Holy shit, when did that appear on your face?
“Like 6 weeks ago…”
Wow – holy gray batman. Yeah, I don’t think my hair color would work, you need that beard stuff that you comb in like everyday since whiskers grow so fast..you know, “Just for Men” (snicker snicker..)
“Do you think the gray looks bad?”
No, it looks fine. You know the baristas at the coffee shop realize you are not 25..
“Do you think that stuff really works?”
I have no idea and have no intention on growing a beard for another 10 years until I am deep into menopause. Then, I plan on waxing..not keeping it brown.
“But do you think I should color it?”
Well since I didn’t even know you had grown a beard, I am going to go with “no” I do not think I will notice…and I also know you are not 25.
You two are all about the romance.
I remember when my husband figured out that my mother colors her hair, which is pure white, by the way. So I then informed him that my grandmother also colors her hair. He was like, “Really?”
I am having my own hair colored today, as I’ve noticed an increase in grayness and a decrease in color these days, but he claims not to notice that either.
*snort* Hubs currently is sporting a beard which I despise (but that’s whole ‘nother story). His is brown though. Although he’s got a few white whiskers that stick out. He thinks it’s cool. He clearly knows he’s not 25. LOL

my hubby can’t grow a beard. It’s quite funny.

you are so lucky you can blog about your hubby and not get in trouble…I myself like a man with a beard, no matter what color it is! Mike won’t grow one anymore, since his comes in nearly all gray now….
maybe they could do a spray on beard color enhancer at Glamour Shots?

The Agronomist is forbidden to shave. I just love his whiskers.. TMI? And yes they are getting grayer by the day. So distinguished, don’t you find. Adds at least twenty IQ points I would say.
