You know, you'd think that I wouldn't report something when it turns out I am wrong. But, my friends, it isn't so. I am not a huge fan of being wrong, no one is, but in most cases I am okay with, when I learn something.
This specific incident refers to a conversation I had with my parents. We were talking about how when you cut a plant back, it regrows thicker. "Oh" I said, "like hair when you shave it." My dad said that isn't true. I thought that it was. I was wrong.
According to many sources, but we'll use the Mayo Clinic, hair does not grow back thicker or coarser, it just appears to when it is in the early stages of regrowth. If you want to know about other famous hair myths, check out this link from our friends as Snopes. In the article, they debunk several old wives' tales surrounding hair. It is pretty interesting.
Well, I suppose that's about it. Dad wins this round. I don't mind losing to him, because I still assume that he's smarter than me. A couple more years of librarianship and blogging and I just might overtake him, but for now, he still edges me out--I'm pretty sure.
