To Dye Hair

Sunday worship was a special event, all kids from kindergarten to youth group attended sermon with us together. So Thomas sat with other kids on the other side. He noticed that one of our deacon's hair changed from gray to black.

He asked me why he changed his hair after that morning. I told him that made him look younger and better. Then he told me " mom , can I dye my hair to gray so I can be the oldest kids. " I replied " nobody wants hair to be gray, kids don't dye hair. "

Tonight he brought this topic again, asked me:
" mom, can I dye my hair to blue when I am 10 years old. "
"no, kids are allowed to dye their hair."
"how about blond ?"
"No, your hair looks perfect for you."
" but I want my hair blond because Brody's hair is blond." (Brody is his classmate and plays with Thomas most of the time at school.)
"we just keep whatever we have and that's way God wants to be. "
"how come Ava's hair is yellow ?"
"Everybody is different and special. That's just the way it is. You look good on your black hair."

"Are you going to have gray hair when you're getting older ?"
"of cause. "
"how about daddy?"
"yes."
