I was taught, “Always be well-groomed and neat.” I can manage the neat part of the equation, and used to be able to manage the well- groomed part as well.
That was until my eyebrows awakened, grew into middle age and became power-hungry. Their texture changed, becoming wiry, uncooperative and a different color! After all those years of my preparing to look organized they forced me into a jostled, tussled demeanor. This eyebrow revolt overpowered my resolve and life long training. 
When I want to go in one direction, an eyebrow hair or two decide on a detour. If I run errands around town the eyebrows decide its time to wander somewhere else. I take one road, they take another. Fearless and feisty, those eyebrows! We just can’t seem to agree.
One evening a program on television featured a story about a man with a reputation for his amazing skill at taming wild animals. If he could teach a jungle leopard to behave and obey, why can’t I tame my eyebrows? Could he keep them from curling upward and outward? Dashing sideways? Veering downward? I’ve tried everything: gels, sprays, even mustache wax! Nothing works. Nothing holds them in place. Nothing makes them behave. To paraphrase an old saying, ”You can’t keep a good eyebrow down!”
I am left to ponder the state of the world and its more serious misfortunes. Revolutions, accidents, murders make my problem seem less drastic and tend to put things into perspective. But these are passing tragedies, while my eyebrows are here for life.

Lol. Ronnie, but why? 😀 You know how to serve a good piece of humor. I completely relate with your story. I guess certain aspects of who we are will continue to rebel 🙂
Haha, love it! Beautifully expressed, Ronnie, I’m sure there are many of us who can relate to this! 😆
Haha, Ronnie! I can relate. Though after plucking out all those crazy brows, I’m going to be left with piddly little in a few years! Cheers 😉
This is hilarious! I love the way you told it. I have been spotting grey loner brows popping up more often! Intruders! 🙂
…and those grey brows are hard to disguise. My hairdresser asked if I’d like him to cover them up with hair color, which I tried once, but that didn’t work very well. They just popped right back up.
You made me laugh, Ronnie. Things could be worse. You could have Brooke Shields’ unibrow. I imagined it overtaking her beautiful face and, now, I no longer envy Brooke. 😉
I always thought her eyebrows were beautiful; so think and well shaped and natural. What changed that no longer make you envy her?
Yes, I do admire Brooke’s current eyebrows. What will change about my envying her is if her eyebrows start to look like your 2nd photo.;)
Heaven help anyone whose brows look like that!
Have you tried super glue ???? 🙂 Hahaha!!!!!
Very funny, Paul. And is there any advice I can give you in return?
How agout “it’s ok to be funny, but don’t be stupid about it !” ??? 🙂
I don’t know anyone who fits that description: do you?
I probably see him every morning when he shaves !
You’re being much too harsh on yourself! You’re a kidder, that’s all. It’s all in good fun.
Funny… I’ve never been too obsessed with eyebrows. I don’t understand the “threading” trend- they all look like they’ve been mowed with a lawn mower.
I don’t understand what “threading” is, either. once in a hair salon a woman was offering her threading services, but I didn’t see any takers, so I couldn’t watch and learn. I certainly didn’t volunteer!
Tee hee! You made me smile and laugh out loud. (woke up the pooch lying behind my chair!)
Poor pooch; but thanks for your comment; I’m smiling as I read it.
Great humor!
Thank you, Prachi. I appreciate your comment.
Personally, I’ve been considering just giving up on hair altogether and either shave it all off, including eyebrows, or just let it grow long and braid it in a nice ponytail with a ribbon.
Don’t know how that will work for my eyebrows though…
I vote for the second option. Then you could post a photo of yourself with the nice ponytail with a ribbon.You wouldn’t need to write another word on that post!
