Passed Parenting With Flying Natural Colors
(We are at my mother-in-law’s, when my 18-month-old daughter runs in. Her cheeks are rosy; her hair is gorgeous blonde curls.)
Mother-In-Law: *to my daughter* “Oh, look at you. You are gorgeous. Definitely don’t need any make up on that beautiful face. Don’t need to change anything.”
(My daughter giggles and runs back outside.)
Mother-In-Law: *to me* “You need to wash her hair with Borax.”
Me: “Borax? What for?”
Mother-In-Law: “Her hair is going dark; Borax will bleach it back to blonde.”
Me: “Yep, I am so going to put something toxic on her hair to keep it from going to its natural colour.”
