Showing Signs of Age
Julian: What is that, another gray hair?! My hair is already thinning on top. I don’t need more gray hairs.
Vera: I think salt and pepper hair looks great on men. It makes them look distinguished 1.
Julian: It makes them look old. Thank God I don’t have a receding 2 hairline – yet.
Vera: When you get to be my age, you won’t worry so much about graying hair. There are a lot of other things to worry about.
Julian: Like what?
Vera: Forget I mentioned it. Showing signs of age isn’t something to be lamented 3. It’s natural and part of maturing as a person. It gives you character.
Julian: Stop being evasive. Like what?
Vera: Okay, like wrinkles and age spots, deafness and memory loss.
Julian: Gee 4, thanks. If I ever need to talk someone off a ledge 5, I’ll give you a call!
