Hair today, gone tomorrow?

After freezing through Christina's softball game yesterday (windy, cloudy, winter-like), she told us that the athletic director of the school said that if she wants to continue to play she needs to bleach her hair back to blonde--so their team can be more unified.

My first reaction was, well, there are consequences to behavior, and this is one. Then I was a little annoyed, even a bit angry, over the pettiness of disciplining her like that over hair color--especially when Christina said it was because of the complaint of a sixth grade student, not even a parent. Christina's coach doesn't mind her hair, but oh well.

Tim wisely said that, even though this may be an unwritten rule, there are still rules that need to be abided by, and the school has been a good thing for Christina, and the church that supports the school helps our tuition payments stay low, etc. etc.

So, better not to burn bridges. Christina's only got about a month left of school anyway--she'll be at a different school (high school already!) next year. So, she has to decide if she'll bleach her hair or quit the team.

One things for sure--we aren't paying for her to go to a salon. She'll have to trust her brothers to help her with a home remedy for hair color.

Stay tuned.....

Till next time,
