I like this post secret–one in which a woman admits hairiness is a family trait, that the fear of being “discovered” as being a woman with hair where it “shouldn’t” is a uniform fear for her her aunts and her mother, and best of all that they’ve made a pact to keep this family secret “secret” if one of them ever “falls into a coma.”

I can relate having had a beautiful, full head of hair along with lots of hair elsewhere –except my arms. I was spared that. Unfortunately for me, I have no female relatives to share this issue with as no one on my mother’s side had the problem—nor other that my mother, are any of them alive. I cannot discern anyone on my father’s side having the issue either other than my now-deceased grandmother who in photographs seems not to mind how hirsute she is.

I told my spouse of my fear but everyone knows how unreliable men are.

I hope, by the time I’m old enough to not have my senses, that there will be a magic “cure.”
