Uhm, honey?? I think I bought the wrong hair color by accident…
Ken runs to the bathroom, where I am facing the mirror wishing it was Halloween. He spins quickly to his backside. A sloppy attempt to hide his famous snicker chuckle shuffle.
What do you think, hun?? Is my hair too dark?? I wonder if it will look lighter in sunlight. Do you think it will look better in the sunlight?
Ken tries to be serious, he tries not to let me know that’s the most ridiculous thing he’s ever heard. His cheeks pucker like balloons inflating themselves. Bwah-hah-hah! Bwah-hah-hah! “What I want to know, Debbie…..” Bwah-hah-hah! “is how…..” Bwah-hah-hah! “you didn’t see the black shoe polish on top of your head!!”
[No reply.]
[NEXT DAY]
“Hello, yes, this is Debbie Davis. I accidentally dyed my hair jet black, like the Adams Family, and I was wondering if I could come in today for an appointment to have it fixed.”
“Yes, we can see you at 4:00. In the meantime, spend the entire day wearing a Prell shampoo cap.”
[PHONE CALL TO KEN]
“Okay, I scheduled an appointment to have my hair corrected. But my hairdresser wants me to wear a shampoo cap all day long.”
“A shampoo cap? You mean like white lather?”
“Yeah, but I don’t think my dumb sense of humor is going to allow it. I mean, it’s funny enough looking like Morticia Adams much less sticking a Dairy Queen swirl on top.”
“Well baby,,,,,,, hey, hey,,,,,,,,, (macho Zoro tone inflected), if you are going to put on the whip-cream,,,,,,, hey, hey,,,,,,,, I’ll be right home… (macho Zoro tone amplified)…….”
[Hey? Hey? HUH… !!! Is he kidding??? Why are men so weird? They don’t care if you look like a cartoon, and I don’t think they have a decent sense of smell either. No concept of morning breath. I seriously wish I was the true-blue Moritica Adams right now — just so that I could snap my fingers and get Gomez to challenge Ken to a duo, or concoct a potion that would sail my Mr. Laughs-At-My-Hair to the moon. Or Mars. What do you think? Would Mars be better?]
Today’s Life Recipe: A sense of humor is better than a cherry on top.
Any planet is fine. As long as u hv the potion to bring him back. U can’t live w/o him, can u?
But, black’s a nice color, no? I wish I hv black shiny hair.
It’s scary how low a guys standards can be. I would shoot for Mars.
I bet you are beautiful with Jet Black hair! I say wear it proud
But yes….send him to the moon…..
Guys just don’t care. I swear they have no standards, makes me wonder about them.
I would probably go for Uranus, lol.
You could SO get away with black hair. Now if you were, say 70, that might be a bit over the top.
My MIL bought a ’sale’ hair dye one time, thinking it looked close enough to the color she usually bought, and ended up with Salmon PINK hair. It was a freak thing. She was going for a reddish brown. And it looked awful. And we laughed our fool heads off when we saw her.
You aren’t that woman who tried to sue because the wrong color was in the box & your life was ruined, were you?
I like the darker color, it’s a fun change!
It looks fine to me..but what do I know? I’ve never actually dyed my hair .. yet. I don’t doubt I will when the gray sets in. Funny account of your woes.
You’re gonna havta keep him darlin’. He is all yours remember?! But I’m thinkin’ he needs a little Nair in his shampoo bottle? JOKING!!
So, you’ll have to update us on the fix.
What a nice hubby you have:)
Men are something else. I bet your hair looks gorgeous, but I do know how you feel; If it’s not what you want, you need it fixed like ASAP. i hope it turned out how you liked it, sweetie!
ps: why do men ALWAYS want to have sex when it’s crisis time? for serious.
Oh yeah I’ve done that before! ;o)
A Prell cap? I had to laugh at this because I remember my mom telling me that Prell Shampoo started out as carpet cleaner! Pretty strong stuff! Tell us, did it work?
Sandi
Oh my goodness you keep me laughing. How did or what color I should say did your hair end up???
That’s funny. This is exactly why I have not died my hair yet, it freaks me out. I’m slowly turning gray though so perhaps I’ll have my own moment like this someday. I’ll make sure to remember the prell tip!
No - men don’t care about the details - HA! You are so funny! Hope you got the color fixed!
Take care - Kellan
I think you should just go with the goth thing for a while and see how that suits him…:-)
LOVE today’s life lesson.
How’d it turn out?
Black never goes out of season…oh wait, that’s with clothes~
I’m sure you are looking all proper by now
