While at the school carnival today, we stopped by the Duck Pond game where a friend of ours was working. Paul asked if she had had her hair done. I looked and noticed maybe two inches of salt and pepper roots (though to be fair, heavier on the pepper). She made a quip about her grey hair and laughed it off, but I was thinking, "What did he say that for?" Most of us have young children and probably don't get to the salon quite as often as we'd like.

Later I half-jokingly asked Paul if he intended to insult her. He was completely clueless. He thought that she'd had her hair painted at the carnival "hair salon"--you know, the spray paint and glitter type--and thought he was being nice by noticing her hip 'do. He said it hadn't even dawned on him that she might have grey hair and is now quite mortified. So ladies, if your men aren't hip to the concept of "roots" already...do them a favor and clue them in.
