But You Won't Believe Me (I Could Tell You Things)

Hair.

Absolutely. Porcelain, driven snow, paper-plate, as-a-glass-of-milk. WHITE.

That one which from my head I just removed was.

Also, I adore the languaging of Confessions, but I'm about 99.9998% certain that's all the translator's doing.

Now, this one, speaking, if she may, for herself, in some surprise sits.

I think, in English I think they call that being shocked.

See synonyms at monkey's uncle.

I come from a family known for graying very early. My sister, barely older than you, has several gray hairs. I have thus far, as far as I can tell, avoided this curse. By family history, I ought to have more than one by now.

I had my first gray at 18.....I've lost count of the amount I have now. You can't tell from just looking but you could tell if you look closely.

I seem to have combined my father's "early greys" with my mother's "there is no grey, let's go straight for white".

It was so white it was almost clear. I had one other white hair a few years ago. Shock is not our friend. XD

Having a white forelock runs in my family. That'll be awesome when it gets here. I just didn't expect it to decide to happen right now, type of thing.

Ah, well. *shrug*.

I was born with a streak of grey hair. It's a family trait. An uncle had a patch of grey in the middle of his head throughout his life. Mine are more silver than grey though.

Ah, yes. My grandmother, from whom we inherit this graying-early thing, also has mostly solid white hair, with just a few of the gray. I must prefer the white. It's so much prettier.
