Me: You got a little red yesterday, honey, so let's put more sunscreen on your face. The sun causes cancer and we don't want you to get cancer.
Her: If I ever get cancer, I'm not going to brush my hair.
Me: No?
Her: No, because I read in a magazine about a girl who had cancer and when she brushed her hair it came out, so if I have cancer I'm not going to brush my hair.
Me: Okay.
Her: Does that sound like a good idea?
Me: It sure does.
Reflecting on my family history of cancer and hair loss and good ideas.
