RED HOT

I show my hairdresser a picture. “This is what I want,” I say. She ties an apron around my neck. “Okay,” she says, winking at me. “Let’s do it!” An hour later she stops and asks, “What was it you wanted again?” My heart sinks. Oh, no! Another hour. “Done,” she says. I look in the mirror and smile. My hair the color of a hot red chili pepper. “Perfect,” I say. She laughs.
