We love you Bald Head!

Some of my siblings have taught my children to call their grandpa, who we call Faja, Bald head! I have tried to tell Kaylie, we should call our grandpa Faja because we love him, but I was proven wrong on trip to the Zoo last week. We were at the monkey house where the Golden Lion Tamarin lives. On the window was a sign saying the following:


Our male Golden Lion Tamarin's baldness is a sign that he is a good father. His hair loss is from transporting babies and being groomed by his family. The veterinary staff has performed a full exam on him and he is in good health. Most of his hair will grow back when he is no longer carrying around babies, but he will always be a little bald due to the grooming by the rest of the group.  

So Father, Your hair loss can be blamed on your children but it also means that you are a good father. Sorry, I don't think you will get any of it back after making it through 5 teenagers, but you will be rewarded with many grandchildren to love you and affectionately call you Bald head!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD/FAJA!
