Too Late.

I once told the wife that there's a spurt or more like an explosive burst, of white strands on my hair all of a sudden. She smile quickly became laughter and she has never failed to remind me of it occasionally ever since then.

Just a little while ago, when I was about to shave off the facial hair on my chin (or more commonly known as beard), to my horror, I noticed a few white strands as well. As I informed the wife, I suddenly recalled the above incident and my voice was quickly reduced to a mumble.


But it was already too late, I saw that familiar smile...
