One day, a little girl is sitting and
watching her mother do the dishes at the kitchen sink. She suddenly notices that her
mother has several strands of white hair sticking out in contrast on her brunette head.
She looks at her mother and inquisitively
asks, "Why are some of your hairs white, mom?"
Her mother replied, "Well, every time
that you do something wrong and make me cry or unhappy, one of my hairs turns white."
The little girl thought about this
revelation for a while, and then said, "Momma, how come ALL of grandma's hairs are
white?"
