Showing Signs of Age

Julian: What is that, another gray hair?! My hair is already thinning on top. I don’t need more gray hairs. 

Vera: I think salt and pepper hair looks great on men. It makes them look distinguished1. 

Julian: It makes them look old. Thank God I don’t have a receding2 hairline – yet. 

Vera: When you get to be my age, you won’t worry so much about graying hair. There are a lot of other things to worry about. 

Julian: Like what? 

Vera: Forget I mentioned it. Showing signs of age isn’t something to be lamented3. It’s natural and part of maturing as a person. It gives you character. 

Julian: Stop being evasive. Like what? 

Vera: Okay, like wrinkles and age spots, deafness and memory loss. 

Julian: Gee4, thanks. If I ever need to talk someone off a ledge5, I’ll give you a call!
