Prompt : 'Green Hair'


"Oliver?"

"Yes babe?"

"Why is our daughter's hair green?"

"Is it ? I didn't notice."

Felicity glared at him and he smiled innocently. "Oh, you mean Millie's hair."

"Do we have another daughter that I don't know about?"

He gave her a sly grin. "Not yet. But we're working on it."

"And there won't be any 'working on it' any time soon if you don't tell me how that happened."

The smile turned into a sheepish look. "Ok, there might have been an...incident with some food coloring. She ended up with a green spot on one side so I decided to, uh...color everything so it would look less weird."

"I don't look weird!" Millie chimed in indignantly. "I look pretty."

Felicity sighed. "So you dyed our 4 years old's hair in green?"

"It's harmless. And it will wash out in a couple of days. I promise."

Felicity gave Millie a long look before the corners of her mouth turned up. "She's certainly going to be a big hit in school tomorrow."

"I'll explain what happened to her teacher when I drop her off. Who knows, maybe she'll start a trend."

"I had no idea you could use food coloring for hair."

"I did. Remember that time...about 6 years ago ? You came to get me and Tommy from that party and we had blue hair. That's how I knew it was harmless."

Felicity laughed. "Right, I had forgotten about that. I called you Smurfette for the whole following week. How did that happen again?"

Oliver shrugged. "We still don't know. And we probably never will."

Felicity looked at the food coloring bottles on the kitchen table, before giving a thoughtful look at her hair.

"How do you think pink would look like?"
