“Wow. Your hair is all sorts of different colors now!”
Emily, go ahead. When you get to high school – dye your hair. Do it any color that pleases you. Learn the hard way that you need to go to an actual salon to get a good coloring job. But, hey, it’s a rite of passage every teenage girl must learn.
But, when you are 26-years-old, and are getting your hair dyed professionally, you will never hear me say something like that. Because I know how *great* (that’s computer sarcasm….some may not be able to pick up on it…) it made me feel when my mom said it to me last week.
