Today, while Jilly was hosting a playdate, she decided that her friend needed a new hair color. So Jilly took her big sister’s red “play” lipgloss and smeared it all over her friend’s beautiful dark brown head of hair. Jilly and her friend loved the new look.
Her friend’s parents were gracious and laughed it off when they came up to pick up their daughter who now had (somewhat) red and (definitely) sticky hair.
After dinner, we received a call from an amused father. He had washed his daughter’s hair three times and dried it with a hair dryer. His wife saw the four-year old after bath time and asked him why her hair was still wet.
It was not wet. The lipgloss was still coating every strand of hair, making it look like she had combed grease into it.
The good news is that the red color that had stained her scalp is gone. But, now the tub has a greasy red ring all along the inside.
We’re lucky that these parents are good friends who have a sense of humor.
A few months ago, the girls got together and decided to break every. . .single. . .crayon in their house into teeny tiny bits. I bought them a new box of crayons to say “sorry for the mess”.
I guess this time I’ll be stopping by with some Clorox for the tub and a hat for Jilly’s friend.
