I donā€™t remember the ā€œbang your headā€ days of MTV but now I feel like I can tell my husband to use this rationale when I asked why heā€™s bald

If you are asking your husband why he's bald I'm not sure that answer will work. Though you do seem to have a strong child-like curiosity (no I'm not saying childish...that would be me), so perhaps it will work!

Kids are so awesome because they have no filters (or less of them). I remember meeting my friend Morris' 4-year-old daughter a few years ago and the first thing she said was, "What happened to your hair?" Actually I think she aimed the question at Morris, like, "What happened to that man's hair?" And after I told her, she said -- again to her father -- "I want you to pay attention to me, not him!" Which I am hoping will lead to her being strong and forthright in her adult years, knowing what she wants and asking for it if she can't get it herself.

Ha! I meant when others ask why heā€™s bald. This is what I get when Iā€™m smushing a response into a short window post Dunkinā€™ Donuts run.
