Eyebrows

Okay guys this is going to sound strange.
Tonite my son asked me what eyebrows are for. I could only look at him and say “for decoration?”
Now I can answer most of the kids questions, but this one kinda threw me.
Never thought of that one before, and probably never would have either.
Waiting for the knowledge to roll in guys so I can give him an answer. And remember he is only eight, very intelligent and very curious. Not much else to do I guess when you are stuck in a wheel chair in a body cast. His eyebrows and his arms are about the only thing he can move, so maybe that is what brought up the question.
Who knows what runs through kids minds?

The popular theory is that it keeps moisture from rolling off your forehead into your eyes:

I believe this topic was discussed here a couple of months ago. Someone had posted that he had burned off his eyebrows and found that they do, in fact, keep some moisture off your eyes. It doesn’t seem like much, but you really notice it if your eyebrows are gone.

Plus which you couldn’t do Groucho Impressions without them…at least not without buying those silly glasses.
