I'm growing some whiskers!

I have a little whisker growing on my chin right now.  It's distracting.  I keep fondling it!  It's so weird to be getting these odd little hairs/whiskers here and there.  Part of the joy of aging from what I hear.  I certainly didn't expect this to happen when I was in my 20's!  Yeah, a wrinkle here and there, some fat and some sags.  I expected that.  But not the little whiskers on my chin. 

I can tell it's a whisker because it's dark and thick, just like a whisker!  I pluck them out.  I don't need a collection starting on my chin.  Ken might find that to be a turn off.  Or would he?  You never know with that man!  He can be perverse!  I have to keep up with the plucking/trimming because if I don't, I'll start looking like one of those women they use in films to play evil teachers that scare little children.  You know the ones I'm talking about.  Yes, you do!

I have to trim one of them because I've plucked it twice and ended up with a heinous ingrown hair that turned into a boil.  It looked like a boil.  Or a heinous zit.  Or something.  It was repulsive!  So it will be trimmed daily.  What will happen when I'm old and senile? Who will know to trim versus pluck my whiskers?  I probably won't look very good when I get senile.  But I'll be senile so I won't care.  Small favors right?

There aren't enough whiskers for me to do anything fun with them.  Like stroke them and do evil laughs. Curses!
