Naked Mole Rat

On the 5th of August I finally told Mark he could use the clippers to remove my remaining hair. It had gotten very scraggly but hadn't all fallen out. After he did it. I told him I looked like a naked mole rat. I did have him leave a small tuft of hair right in the front which some people like and some people tell me I need to get rid of it, But it is still there. When I put a scarf on there is still a small illusion of hair, but I am probably not fooling anyone as to what the real situation is.

I was born with this cute little curl right in the middle of my forehead. So it has always been a favorite of my mom's to continue on with the poem and when she was good she was very very good and but when she was bad I was horrid. I've kept my little curl so far.

Being a naked mole rat does have some benefits apparently.

They don't get cancer so this little guy is going to be my friend.

If you want to learn more about it here is a website with a great article on why.

Naked mole rats have many interesting characteristics that could be useful to science

Surprisingly I still have some hair and it is growing. I don't know if more will fall out or if it will stay. hopefully it will fall out if the hair that grows back in is going to do some thing different than the hair I have. Maybe I will have to stay in the naked mole rat condition till things even

out. I have been told that my head has a lovely shape

 so I shouldn't worry about it.
