Kids are so honest

I enjoy interacting with kids. They say the cutest things, and quite honestly their inquisitive minds are refreshing. In two separate occasions this week I was quite frankly told, "You don't have any hair." I wonder what processing goes through a 4 year old brain when encountering an Alopecian.

These kids were a blessing to me this week. I've been questioning my decision to live bald instead of wearing a wig. A wig would make me look more normal and perhaps provide comfort in some situations. But is wearing a wig who I really am. I know I don't fit into the mold of a normal looking woman, but these kids reaffirm my decision to walk bald. They could have said you look weird or funny, but instead they told me who I am. Bald and beautiful.
