Roots.

Good God!
Where did they come from.
No, I'm not talking about those ancestors in the closet.
I'm talking the one inch roots on my head.

One day I was having a good hair day; the next day-
BAM!
There they are!
Darker than the rest and grey as grey can be!
Or, as my Mother refers to the colour: pewter.
Pewter and sparkly!
They reflect the light!
A beacon proclaiming "Hey! Look at me! She's got a fake colour AND she is going grey!"

I'm too young to go grey!
Darn teenagers!!
I'm holding them responsible for the whole problem.
Roots, because I have no personal time to go to the salon.
Grey, because they are aging me....and it ain't graceful!

PS In case you were curious:

Which is correct, the "grey" or "gray" spelling?
Have you often wondered "Am I spelling g-r-e-y correctly...or is it g-r-a-y?". How do you spell the color grey or gray? Well, the answer is they are both correct. There are two acceptable spellings. Gray is used primarily in the United States and other areas that use US English. Grey is used in Great Britain and areas that use UK English
