>>Actually, we did green hair. #2 son had long blonde hair dyed a pretty shade of pine green with semi-permanent stuff. I encouraged it because he had a great need to do outrageous things and green hair is pretty outrageous, and more importantly, NOT PERMANENT.

>That's good advice. I hope I can handle all the stuff that she can throw at me.
When I can't handle it I hide behind a computer. Learned a lot of Fox lately while hiding from the surprises 3 kids can generate when you're trying to get them through high school and into college. ;>}
