Very cute story.
I have had some experiences with the 7th graders that I teach.
Recently, they saw a picture of me from last year (prior to hair loss). Many of them came up to me afterwards and said, "I didn't know that you had hair!" ....
Today I went without a scarf for the first time. My hair is only about an inch long, so I was a little nervous. They were so sweet, many told me how pretty I looked. Even a few boys told me they liked my hair.
Final story...my son is just turned three when my hair fell out. His first words after seeing me without hair, "Mommy, you are a boy now!" It took a lot of explaining about boy and girl parts before he would stop calling me a boy. Then my new name was "Baldie"....it's a good thing he is cute.
