Mrs. Sommerville... How Did You Get White Hair?

You might think I was mortified by the question, "Mrs. Sommerville, how did you get white hair?"

But no.  

I was bummed that it looks WHITE, instead of blingy s-i-l-v-e-r.

That's right:  I've spent the last decade pondering my eventual change in hair color.  I had it planned.  I even figured I'd phase out the teacher jumpers and spangled/bejeweled sweaters so I could embrace the "new me" with a stylish wardrobe.

Goodbye denim dresses.  Goodbye Liberace sweaters.  

Hello ~white~ hair. 

Not fair.
