my boyfriend is growing out his hair. it's in an awkward mullet right now. but finally as of last week he can tie it up into a little tiny ponytail. he does this on top of his head. when he does this the shape of his head and hair looks like an onion, because his hair is still so short. he refers to himself as "the onion" when this happens, knowing that i love onions and eat them with nearly every meal. he will emerge from the washroom at night and come to bed and say "it's onion time now." i am always thinking about the core of the onion
