A funny thing happened at a family pool party yesterday afternoon. I got out of the pool and after a few minutes took my hair out of the pony tail and combed through it with my fingers to get the tangles out. I was sitting on a chair by the pool, facing away from the house talking to my daughter-in-law, when my 12-year-old grandson came out and said to his mom "Who's that?" We didn't know who he was talking about, since she and I were the only ones out there at the time. We turned around and he said to me, "Oh, it's you! I thought you were a blonde girl." He had rarely seen me with my hair down, so it wasn't surprising that he was a little confused! So when we got home I had my wife take a picture of me from the angle my grandson saw me. At the party I hadn't put my shirt on yet, and being in the sun, my hair apparently looked a lot lighter than it really is (the gray roots standing out from the light brown coloring I had done a few months ago). In the picture I'm wearing a cami, but my hair (other than color) probably looked pretty much the same.
