Tell me a funny story! I can laugh at myself so lets laugh together. I just lost my wig in public. Not kidding.

We can all cry together, but I'd rather laugh. Does anyone else want to share a funny story? On Father's Day I was in the pool with my darling daughter and I wear an old wig to swim. My daughter is really bothered that some of her friends or herself would think that I am ill,etc. if they see my balding. I say, "Who cares?" But whatever. So I wear a swim wig. Father's Day I am swimming and she is laughing and playing with me and I come up out of the water and the wig falls off.It slips off backwards as I come up out of the water in this crowded pool. I catch it mid air and start laughing and slap the thing on my head. Her eyes are big as saucers. I start backing up and laughing she's shaking her head with her eyes getting bigger and bigger. Apparently I slapped it back on sideways, so I ungraciously grabbed both ear tabs and yanked the thing back in place and said loudly, "Is that better?" She wanted to leave but I wouldn't let her. I just CANNOT live my life like that. Ok, so I'm not getting any dates that day (which is what I told her incidentally to make her laugh). And I may have looked stupid, but she is the one who thinks I need a swim wig. I say, I am what I am and I am definitely more than the sum of my parts. I think by not freaking out, I recovered fine. No, I didn't get any dates, but there was no extended laughing, nor was there any sympathy clucking either.

Some of you who have encountered me before have seen that I am finally approaching dating. So all these personal ads and guess who ends up working out for me as a date? Some guy that I have had a major crush on for about 5 years but he lives not in the same city as me and he knew me before my hair ever thought of falling out so I just went through the should I tell him before or after he flies out here for his first date visit. He says if the relationship works out he is willing to relocate. So, unless it comes up naturally in conversation I have decided not to tell him until he gets here and tell him in person. I plan to meet him in a wig that is different than what is on my FB profile and that he has not seen before as a conversation starter. He may really NOT notice, though. So I'm thinking we might be, um, rolling around a bit before the subject comes up. Does anyone have a funny one for me? I can literally just picture us kissing hot and heavy and me rolling over and leaving the thing on the bed accidentally off my head. I don't really wear them tight unless I"m swimming and clearly that's not quite tight enough! LOL I get headaches. I just don't like them tight. Anyone wish to share or comment about my Father's Day pool mishap?

Thanks to all who replied. I learn more and more just from the act of sharing these things and from what you guys share with me. I lost Mr. Sensitive before the first date over a childrearing issue so there was never any rolling around. Here is a new one: I finally got just enough regrowth that I am SWIMMING WITHOUT A SWIM WIG. :0) Yay. (I'm bowing) THank you very much. Have you ever felt like you should NOT mention your regrowth because you just KNOW at some point you are going to go back the other way? I mean, I still look balding, just not quite as bald. LOL. Yes people are looking at my head (read: staring openly) but hey, I'll take what I can get and celebrate that. Here's to hoping that I have NOT just jinxed myself. LOL

oh my! I had a few lost wig instances but I never founds them too funny. just life! But one time I met a new friend in school and she kept going on and on about how nice my hair was. I finally had to tell her it was a wig! too funny, but i felt pretty confident from then on!

Oh and another time I was at my friends house so I took my wig off to relax and watch a movie with her. an hour later I looked over and her cat HAD MADE A BED OUT OF IT! and he had kneaded it into a giant ball of knots. we laughed so hard. Took my ages to brush it out, but it wasnt damaged. Now I keep it far away from kitties!!
