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!
