Annual Beard
Dec
9
2008
It is cold and snowy outside, so I have started my beard, much to the chagrin of my wife. When some people, those who know me slightly, see me with a beard and they aren’t used to my having a beard, they ask questions. Oddly enough, the most common question is “What question do people usually ask you about your beard?” To which I reply “The one that you just asked.”
For those who are interested: the second-most common question about my beard is “How do you wash it?” And my reply is “I shampoo it occasionally.” Another popular one is “How long did it take you to grow that?” Of course, that answer varies depending on when they ask the question.
When my beard is just starting, or if there was a long weekend during which I didn’t shave, then there’s a good crop of stubble on my face. My kids used to be fascinated with that. They would rub my face with their hands and say “Daddy, you have ants all over your face!”
They shall not make any baldness on their heads, nor shave off the edges of their beards, nor make any cuts in their flesh.
