Prayer answered

When I was ten, my mother used to wash my hair as a part of my bathing ritual. One could hear her complain daily that my hair was becoming unmanageable and that the good Lord could have given more brains inside the skull instead of more hair outside it. With all innocence and naivety, I used to pray Him to take away the hairs and give more brains instead!

The prayers are answered.. albeit a bit late and only partially.

Now I am forty and when I see my bald head in the mirror, I see that my prayers have been answered. He has taken away my hair faithfully but didnt quite succeed in increasing the brain part. Now I am praying to Him for more hair and brains.
