A couple of weeks ago a woman had to share a serious
concern with her preschool-aged daughter about gray
hair and dying.

The little girl had come to understand that when your
hair tuned gray, you would die.

This was of particular concern as her Mommy was
becoming gray.

Mom explained to her daughter that she wasn't going to
die and that she got her gray hair from yelling at her
kids when they misbehaved.

Satisfied with the answer, nothing more was said until
a few days later when they made a trip to the doctor
for a flu shot.

The family doctor just happened to have very white
hair.

My niece watched as here daughter paid very close,
wide-eyed attention to the doctor and was behaving just
like an angel with no fussing at all when it came time
for her shot.

Then, when the doctor left the exam room, she leaned
over to her mother and said, "He must yell at his kids
a lot!"
