I have never shaved my head

Because I like to imagine that on the back of my head, where no one can see, there’s a really horrible, hideous birthmark, just the worst no one has ever seen, possibly even shaped like a swear word or my butt, and I like to think how lucky it is that this birthmark could be on my right hand or my ankle or in the middle of my face but instead it’s completely hidden under pounds of hair where it never bothers me.

And whenever something bad happens that’s small I think, well “I was due for some bad luck,” since I already really lucked out with the ultimate secret placement of this birthmark.

The other reason I have never shaved my head is because once I told my cousin I was so sick of my hair that I was going to shave it and she said “not many people can pull off a shaved head.” And I said “Halle Berry can” because I don’t look exactly like Halle Berry but I definitely do exude, if not exceed her sexiness. And my cousin didn’t agree with that statement at all.

But I was due for some bad news like that, since I already lucked out with the ultimate secret placement of this birthmark.
