Glow Be Gone

So dearest one brought me home some more hair dye.
Youngest son wanted to know if I wanted help
with the highlights
this time around.
He had a kind of devilish grin in his eyes.
I was non commital.

I came out with the highlights finished.
No orange glow this time around, thank God.
Youngest son seemed disappointed
I hadn't sought his help.
Turns out that devilish grin
was him planning on drawing a smily face
out of highlights
on the back of my head.
This is one time when
refusing help
was a godsend.

Hi Hope,
Just wanted you to know I'm around and reading you.

Glad the hair turned out. What price being a woman???

Hah! There is a time to accept help, and a time to do things yourself...the crazy grin was a good indicator, I'd say. Although I would have laughed at the smily face...
