I was all done and I sat down and had a good look. Oh man, Mae was gonna be really mad at me! "Well, how does it look? Is it like Kyori's? I can't wait to see it!!"  she asked. Uh,oh. I had to think fast. "Well, umm, it's not quite as dark as Kyori's."   "That's okay, I like brown, too. Is that what it looks like? Mae asked. "Well, it's more of a mmmggg" I mumbled.   "Speak up Dilly I can't hear you!" Mae shouted. Oh well, she'd see it soon enough. "It's not brown Mae, it's more like a...mint green." "AAAAAHHHHHHHHHH" she yelled and ran to look in the mirror.

I guess she didn't like it. "I'm gonna KILL you Dilly!" she screamed and stomped her foot. I sat down with the bottle to look at it again. "Hmmm..well the bottle is green, but I didn't think it was that color, I mean look at the happy black haired lady's picture on the back." I showed it to Mae. "You Dummy Dilly! That lady is smiling and holding a toilet bowl brush! You colored my hair with toilet cleaner! "   Shucks, that wasn't good. I thought.  "But at least it only turned it green Mae, it could've been worse. And you do look cute, kinda like a leprechaun." I guess that was the wrong thing to say, so I went to put the toilet cleaner back.

I was almost back to the bathroom when I heard Mae scream like she saw a monster. I ran in the door and at first I thought it was an alien coming to get me.  "Look, LOOK Dilly! I tried to brush it and all my hair fell out! I hate you Dilly!!" she screamed at me and then she ran out the door.  For the first time in my life I was speechless. After all,  Mae really did look like something that crawled out of the toilet!

I tried to make it up to her and I even offered her a hat. But she wasn't talking.

Then Mommy came to the rescue. We told her the whole story and I said how sorry I was and that I didn't mean for it to happen. She said she hoped I learned my lesson and then she told Mae everything would be fine and she gave her a pretty blonde wig and a gorgeous brown one. "Now you can change your hair color anytime." Mommy told her. Mae was so happy, BUT...

.....why did Mae get to have two different colors of hair?  I only get this stupid pink!  It just wasn't fair!  Mommy rolled her eyes at me and left. And that was that.
