Why My Fingers Are Burgundy

My fingers are blood red, but not bloody. If adults were here they might be wondering; it looks like Kool-Aid. Most probably from my handy burgundy hair dye touch up paint. I spritz a bit of it on my part when I start to look like a red skunk. Luckily I work with children who have not noticed that or my white streak. Which makes me wonder why I even bother with it.

They truly do not notice anything; I could be wearing a circus tent and they would not say a thing.

Oh, I think the white streak would be nice! I have, despite what my PS pic indicates, beautiful snow white hair now. I got it from my grandfather. I dyed my hair for years, but when I stopped, I was pleasantly surprised. Me and Phil Donohue!

Hmmm...I probably look at least a hundred, but it's a lot cheaper this way!

I have had the white hair and I look six thousand years old with it. So it is not for me.
