As mentioned in earlier posts Ms. Papaya has a fascination with hair or the lack of it. All three are equally fascinated with death and old age.

They keep asking me questions about how old I am. Or how old will I be when they are 10 or so. They ask if I will have my teeth, whether my legs will pain and all sorts of questions that don’t make Old Age a very attractive propposition.

One day Ms. Papaya had lunch with Little Po and his other grandfather ( whom she adores). After dinner when they were listening to their afternoon tale, very unabashedly, she looked up and p0inted to Abu’s head. 

The poor man was trying to think of a suitable answer when Little Po piped up

“ NOTHING! He has NO hair because he’s OLD!”

While Abu’s hair has thinned because he has aged, it was definitely not flattering for someone who isn’t doddering and still cuts a handsome figure in his Operating Theatre.

Do you think the loss of hair is the result of old age? Do all old men have no hair?
