Is that my head? Really?

I took a walk today. It was chilly but the sun was out so that made it tolerable. As I walked, I happened to notice my shadow cast before me. I was struck by how bizarre my "shadow head" looked. My hair looked like something dreamed up by Dr. Seuss. I put hand on my real head and tried to locate the source of the weirdness. Oddly, I couldn't feel anything really out of the ordinary. A stroll past a reflective shop window confirmed that things were pretty much normal on the top of my head. Apparently, the shadow revealed an inherent wackiness to my hairstyle that I've come to accept as "normal" for me. Ah, ignorance was bliss! Now that I know, it kind of depresses me - I've never been much of a hat person.
