everyone has their kryptonite

I went sledding today for the first time in a few years. I had so much fun, except for when I had to walk back up the hill all those times. Oh well. While there, I ran into my barber and his family. As he was walking past, I made a comment to him. He instantly realized who I was and then said how he didn't recognize me at first.  He didn't recognize me at first. This is the guy who knows exactly what I want when I get in the chair without having to say a word. This is the guy who always remembers everything that's going on in my life once I get into the chair. This is the guy who tells me that he saw me running through town or past his house on a random day. And suddenly, this was the guy who didn't recognize me at first. I always comment on how barbers and hair stylists have some of the best memories of anyone I know.

And do you know why he didn't recognize me at first? Because of his kryptonite: I was wearing a hat! To finish his comment he made, he said, "I didn't recognize you at first with that hat on." I had never really thought of that before. My barber recognizes me based on my hair. When I covered my hair with a hat, he suddenly didn't recognize me. My hat was his kryptonite.

It got me thinking about what some other people's kryptonite might be. Here are a few I thought of:

Rex Ryan: socks

Antonio Cromartie: class

Britney Spears: style

George Bush: articulation

Justin Bieber: talent

Ok, so all kidding aside...everyone has their kryptonite. I wonder what mine is. What's yours?
