True Confessions

by Kay Heitsch

I sat down across the table from a new 93 year old resident. We began talking when out of the blue she let me in on some personal information. "This is my natural hair color," she said in a matter a of fact way. I thought with a smile, "Gee, I wouldn't have known grey would be natural at her young age." Trying not to crack up I said, "Well, since this is true confession time, I should tell you that this is not my natural hair color." With a bit of snootiness in her voice she answered, "Well, to each his own."
