At our house, we play with Play-dough frequently. It is such a great toy for a couple of hyperactive kids. They get mesmerized with the stuff, and even us adults enjoy play with it.
About a year ago, while we were watching some of our friend’s kids, we were playing with the Play-doh. Like normal “kids” we were being silly while we played. We ended up making fake mustaches, snotty noses, unibrows, etc. Well one thing led to another, and we started making hair for my husband (who is bald).
I asked Hurricane, “what happened to daddy’s hair?”
His reply, “its gone, the bear took it”
ME: “The bear took it?”
Hurricane: “Yeah, the bear. He took daddy’s big hair. Now he just haves little hair left. Right here.. (pointing to my husbands bald head, and in a really high pitched voice).”
ME: “Can you go find the bear and get daddy’s hair?”
Hurricane: “Yeah! It’s lost. I go find daddy’s hair from the bear”.
He then proceeded to try and get his friends to follow him around the house looking for the Bear that stole his daddy’s hair. Now that I am typing this, the whole conversation seems much funnier to experience then to type and read. But seriously? How’s that for an explanation for male pattern baldness? A bear took it? Kids have quite the imagination.
To this day, he still believes that a bear took dad’s hair. Whenever he sees a picture of a bear on tv or the computer, he says “that’s the bear that took dad’s hair!”. Hil.ar.i.ous.
