Lockdown can be hilarious at times. Yesterday a person knocked at my gate and called out my name. I really wondered who it might be. I peeped through the window and was surprised to find a strange bearded hairy man smiling and waving his hand from a distance. I didn't bother to open my house locked gates. After a while I checked again and found the man had left. Soon I got a call from a familiar number which I picked up promptly.The male voice at the other end started to shout at me asking why didn't I open the house gates. I said " I didn't recognise " it was you uncle, in the strange beard and long hairs. He kept silent for a moment and broke out into a hearty laugh. He apologized for not informing me over phone about his visit. we had a long chat over phone and agreed to meet after the lockdown with a recognisable face.

Whoa, that can happen to me because my hair is already 2 months old and pretty long already. Some people may not recognize me anymore.

@sofssu hahaha.. nice that you are volunteering to keep your husband and sons hairs short. Many think it's the job of the barber and so let the hairs grow making them look like a cave man

@bbghitte More than just be recognised it can lead to itching, skin disease and other health issues.
