I have a word sent to me via email from Websters dictionary in my on going effort to combat the memory loss that has occurred to me since having kids. This word gave me a good giggle today.
Trichotillomania- an abnormal desire to pull out one's hair.

I would love to use that in a sentence someday, My kids have caused me to have that condition
many times!
OK, my mom had that. She plucked out all the hairs on the top of her head when she was little. When it grew back she had this big hedge-hog mop top, but it was long at the bottom and the back.
I think it started the mullet trend, because about 15 years later, bam. Camaro cuts everywhere!
I watched like a two hour documentary on that disease. It was really sad - these people would literally pull out ALL OF THEIR BODY HAIR. OUCH!
My sister in law and I were just talking about that the other day. She said that she knew someone who's kid was having that problem. Interesting.
wow, I did not actually realize that this was a disease, I thought it had to have been made up be a mother with a bunch of small kids and was laughing that someone actually made up a name for it. now I fell really bad, that would be horrible to want to pull out all your hair.
I'd love to use it in a sentence too, but I'd first have to learn how to pronounce it. Fun!
Oh -so its abnormal to feel that way? ;)
I was driving down the road listening to a screaming child and thought....hmm...what was that word Natelli wrote about? That one where you pull your hair out? Yeah, that one. Yes I liked that word.
I have actually been diagnosed with this...ti sucks! I have bald spots from it. ;( Its not as bad now as it was when I was younger, but I don't notice I am doing it until I ahve pulled out a chunk. You should look isid emy car. Its bad when I drive!
I love that word, it is fun to say. Amy Jones, I will pronounce it for you!
