There are many different examples of "silly." But, this example is one that has been in my family since my Papaw began to do it.
My family has this strong fear of growing old. Sure, some other people outside my family has this fear, but this fear started in my Papaw. He was so afraid of growing old, he would dye his hair black to hide grey hairs. He tried it on my Mimi one time, but that backfired. Not only did my Papaw do it, but my great-uncle Malc would do it.
Now, my mother has this fear. If she thinks that she has too many grey hairs, she will either have highlights put in or die it back to her original hair color(black). She also uses face cleaner that we call her "Think Young" makeup. Everytime she runs out, she goes right out to the store and buys more.
But, whether or not I will have this same fear when I am that age, I'm not exactly sure. I do know one thing, I think this is pretty weird!!
