At dinner earlier tonight (Christmas Eve), my wife's stepmother's mom asked me, "Mike, why did you shave all the hair off your head? I remembered you having a nice head of hair..." She is suffering from dementia. I wanted to just say I did it because I like the look, but someone else chimed in and said that I was losing my hair anyway. So I just said, "Yeah, I was losing it, so I just went with it."
Myke, sometimes it's just easier to go with the flow mate
Merry Christmas Sly Brother
Anything that moves the conversation along to the next topic is fine with me.
I probably would have done the same as you SlyMyke ... unless there was just enough pause to add "and I really like the new look."
Usually there isn't that much gap in the conversation, and I'd prefer to let the conversation move to some other topic.
Regardless, you look great!
