My husband was waking up from a nap. He would sleepily open and close his eyes. He then closed them for awhile so I put my fist close to his face so he would instantly see it when he finally opened his eyes again. I was hoping he would be startled. It didn't work. Darn! He just opened his eyes like it wasn't any big deal.

As I quietly studied his face awaiting his response. I noticed a hair on the top of his nose. This is icky. I wanted to make it go away. It reminded me of big hairs old men get in their eye brows and in their ears. My husband is 42 and I wish this wouldn't happen to him.

I remember a joke told by, Sam Cathey, an evangelist speaking at a revival meeting I attended 15 some-odd years ago. He was an older man and was thinning on the top. He had a solution to his problem he said he would just let his eyebrows grow out and comb them straight back.

I told my husband I wanted to pull the unruly strand out because people would see it in Sunday School class tomorrow. He said, "Yeah, I want 'em to see it." So when he closed his eyes again I pulled it out. It's a good thing it didn't hurt. He says I have no concept that other people can feel pain.

After I read this blog to Danny he said the reason why he wasn't startled awake by seeing my fist is because he knew it was there. He said my fist tickled the little hair on the top of his nose.
