Talk:An Under-Edd's-Hat Theory/@comment-68.110.189.136-20130501013529

I think maybe be has leukemia- he said he bruises easily. Kids with leukemia generally bruise easily and are often much weaker than everyone else. He had to get chemotherapy, so of course his hair won't grow back for a long time- he chooses to cover up the baldness. He doesn't want anyone to know because he doesn't want to be treated like a baby, or a lesser human being because he has a disability. Plus they caught it early, he doesn't want that especially when he might live, and keep having to deal with that. There's a lot of hints this could be true. Also, the curly strand could likely be part of that hat. As someone who sews all the time, I know un-mended fabric can string out and look like crap.
