Got any greys?

So back to that age thing... I took the girls to get their hair cut after work. Their stylist was the only one there with a customer who was having her roots colored. She was sitting there complimenting the girls - oh, they're so cute, so pretty, they look so much alike, such pretty hair. Turns out she was buttering me up because somehow the conversation led to her asking me if I had any greys. Wha?! *cough* GREYS?! Are you kidding me? Is it because I'm here with two kids, I'm supposed to be OLD enough to have grey hair? I'm 28 at heart, and who the hell are you? I mean, do I look old enough to have GREYS? Jesus!

Of course, vocally, I handled the question with much more dignity. I may have stuttered a bit, but I said, uh, no, maybe a couple stragglers every once in a while. And I stopped myself short of saying, Nothing that needs to be colored by any stretch! I mean, she was sitting there with color on her roots after all. Far be it from me to point that out.

Good God!

On another note, do you spell grey with an "ay" or an "ey"? Just curious.
