Semantics

My husband is the king of playing mind games with himself. He's one of those people that can eat on a smaller plate and pretend it means there is more food. Not look at his clock so that when he wakes up, he can convince himself he had eight hours of sleep instead of the actual one hour. I.. am not. I'm too literal for that kind of nonsense.

Me: This growing the hair out business is ridiculous. I look like a cross between a ninety year old grandma with a perm and Bozo the clown.
Him: It looks adorable!
Me: Adorable for a ninety year old!
Him: So dye it....
Me: I wasn't even talking about the color.....what made you say that?
Him: I'm just saying, maybe you would like it more if you got rid of the gray.
Me: So you are telling me I should dye my hair because it's gray?
Him: Just sayin...maybe you would feel better about it.
Me: I see, you want me to dye my hair...so "I" feel better about it. Apparently it's a thing for you.
Him: I didn't say that! I just don't want people to think you are older than you are...
Me: So you are saying I look older because of the gray?
Him: Nooooo... but other people might think that.....
Me: So.. you think that.
(You see here, the mind game in action. Fortunately, I've caught him in the act.)
Him: You are so youthful looking. I would hate for people to think you are older.
Him: I think you look beautiful with or without the gray.
Him: Seriously... I think you look young.
Me:......for someone with gray hair, that is....
Him: Will you stop?! No one said you look old.
Me: Pretty sure you just did...and covered it up to make the blow sting a little less.
Him: Oh, good grief! Dye it or don't... I love it no matter what.
Me: So you will love me despite the fact that I look old because of my gray hair? That's nice of you.
Him: I didn't say you look old!!!
Me: You're right. You didn't come right out and say it..you implied it. Same difference. I'm on to you.
Him: (shaking his head) This is going on the blog...I know it is.
Me: You got it.

Yesterday, I dyed my hair. I wouldn't want you all to think that I look older than I am. It might make Kendrick feel bad.
