Purple Dye!

Today we got a box in the mail from one of my high school friends, Amanda.  She and I had gone back and forth regarding Amelia's request for me to paint her hair purple.  Seriously. 
Here's the conversation we had last week:
"Mommy, when Mr. Brett cuts my hair can he make it purple?"
Me: "Make what purple?"
Amelia: "My hair."
Me: "How would he make it purple?"
Amelia: "He can paint it like Ms. Shawn painted your hair."
Me: (trying not to laugh while completely amazed she remembers me getting my hair highlighted on Nov. 9th!) "Umm, we can talk about it. Now go to sleep!"

I had posted this on Facebook and got lots of feedback.  Amanda said she had streaked her girls' hair previously and it was both easy and safe.  She offered to send me the stuff she used.  

I've told Amelia if she's really good between now and when we leave, I'll give her some purple hair for our trip to Jamaica.
