The girls wanted to be just a teensy bit rebellious for the beginning of the 2015 school year and asked if they could dye just a small strip of hair a different color. Maddy had done this in the past, so we said, ok.
REALLY??!
I mentioned that the little bit of hair was just a monotone color and her natural color had SO many colors in it already, people spend a fortune to duplicate her hair color in a hair salon. Suddenly an analogy hit me.
It's like having a beautiful voice where you can sing all KINDS of notes. Fa la la la trill!!! But then suddenly it's only one. Faaaaaaaaaaaaaaa... Her hair is a beautiful blond with so many various tones of color that God naturally put into her hair. Why would she want to change it to just one monotone?
She smiled and acted like she understood my analogy and went inside.
I thought I'd reached her.
She complained to her sister inside. "Yeah, Mom came up with another story..."

You're a good mama. And that's a good story no matter what she may think or say. ;)
Kazi went deep midnight blue for a month or two in Gr. 9. As that was about it for rebellious stage I think I got off rather lightly.
