growing beards is a tradition??? is shaving also a tradition???
Finally somebody picked up on the silliness of that, especially since you kind of* have to choose one or the other. In western culture, I’d consider the beard thing mostly to be a fad or style but for some ethnicities/religions it is a tradition. Traditions do people good, even if they might seem unnecessary.
*Some people might only be able to get a little scruffy.
and i have both my mom’s and my dad’s last names. not sure what i’ll do when i get married, but i don’t like the concept of “making” someone else have my last name. or the other way around.
Any person you decide to marry will help solve the riddle.
