Grayin' on the ole noggin'

So,

My girlfriend was giving the mane the mandatory trim the other day, and all of a sudden she notices a little white thing in there. I ask her to pluck it out, and sure enough, it's my very first gray hair.

I have to say, it brought about a certain reflection on my part. It made me ponder that I may be older than I feel and that it'll probably get worse as time goes by. Even though I've had this kind of experience before (like when I went to my little brother's graduation), I can still say it freaked me out a little bit for a minute.

So, how many of you have seen this phenomenon up close already (as in on your head)? Did it affect you in any way?

For those who haven't lived this yet, do you dread the day or are you not at all concerned about it?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

See, I figured it might be genetic but I wasn't too sure about that. I have four brothers, and the three that are older than me are well on their way to having a full head of gray, heck the eldest is only 28 and he's pretty much all gray already.

Isn't stress also a factor though?

There's nowhere I can't reach.
