Letter No.25 Pineapple

 

There is an intensely thick-grown bush on the top of his head. 

The rest of the area is relatively modest in length and volume, like a vast grassland in African savanna.  

If you step back and see the whole picture, 

you see one miraculous sweet pineapple staring at you with a big smile on his face. 

They say every baby is different in their own way,

and the question of hair growth is one of the ones where 

it is hard to pin down the "normal" timeline. 

But I really didn't predict that his head would grow to be a pineapple. 

When I was little, I was exactly like this.

Back in elementary school, I remember some of my friends called me "Pineapple Head."

In fact, I still have very strait, thick Asian hair, 

and my head becomes a spiky sea urchin after taking a shower. 

After 30 some years, a pineapple has developed into a sea urchin. 

I wonder what Bubu’s hair will be like 30 years from now. 

Just imagining his future hairstyle 

makes my daily Bubu head-moisturizing routine fun and enjoyable. 

Now I understand why 

some people enjoy farming or gardening 

without getting tired of giving water everyday.
