So I'm sitting at dinner last night with my son and he just looks up from his mac and cheese and goes "Dad, where did your hair go? Did you lose it?"
My wife starts cracking up. I tell him it just decided to leave without saying goodbye. He seemed satisfied with that answer but now I'm paranoid about going bald lmao. Anyway anyone else get weird questions from their kids about aging?
haha my 7yo asked me the same thing last week. I just said "my hair got tired and went to sleep" and he seemed satisfied with that answer
This is when you hit him with the dad joke. "I didn't lose it, I just set it free" or something ridiculous. Mine loved it, your wife will groan which is the real win
At least he asked directly instead of announcing to the whole grocery store that daddy's bald like mine did. The cashier felt bad for me lol
Mine asked me if I was 'sick' because I didn't have hair like my brother. The logic they use is actually hilarious
the mac and cheese detail makes this even better. like he HAD to ask while eating. zero filter
I just told my kid straight up that some dads lose their hair and that's just how it is. Better than making it weird imo. He accepted it and moved on

The mac and cheese context makes this so much better. Just casually callout your hair loss between bites. Brutal but fair
