Why Did I Open My Big Mouth?

Dear Miss Clairol,

Yesterday my lovely daughter asked me if I would help her put in some hair extensions after she colored her hair. I said, "Absolutely, I would love too!" Ahhh, another mother daughter bonding moment. My only request was, for her to be very careful with the hair color and not get any of it on the bathroom walls. (She tends to be a bit messy.) Well, within a few minutes I hear "MOM, COME QUICK! I NEED YOUR HELP! HURRY.... I sprinted towards the bathroom thinking she must have gotten some of the dye in her eyes and it was hurting her. Boy, was I wrong.

This is what she said to me when I walked into the room.

Mom, I know you are a clean freak and I swear to you I was being very careful, I don't know how it happened and when I first saw it, I looked out the bathroom door to see where you were and when I didn't see you, I thought I could clean it, but it just wouldn't come off and started to look worse. I'm sorry Mom, I'm really sorry she said, in a voice I figure only someone would use when begging for their life. Then I saw the real damage, it wasn't the wash cloth she was holding.

It was the bottom half of my bathroom door.

I had to laugh, God bless her, she did what I asked her to do which was not get it on my bathroom walls. Instead, it was on the door.

While I searched high and low to find something to remove the dye off of the door, I made her sit on the couch with a Wal-Mart bag on her head and I strictly stated to her, "You don't move from this couch and don't touch a thing!" Well, unfortunately, I couldn't get the door clean.

Therefore, I want to apologize for my recent post about your product. It seems that I was wrong and my messy daughter was the one that pointed it out to me. Your hair color IS PERMANENT after all! Please accept my apologies and I promise to continue to use your product every 5 or 6 weeks and never complain again. Sincerely, Gina

Oh My Gosh! I guess she knows the shirt she is wearing is ruined too? What are you going to do about the door?

I tried some bleach and it worked! Stains gone, Yippy Skippy... Now there are two things she is not allowed to do at my house. She can never use the stove, she is a proven fire hazard and now she can't color her hair in my house, she requires outdoor space and supervision for that task!
