Oh....

Got my hair cut last week, stylist (I've known her a long time) said "oh, you're getting more blonde in your hair that's neat!" And I said, "hmm, that's weird, it's not like I'm out in the sun these days but ok" because my hair has changed colours a fair bit over the decades.... 

But when I got home, I looked in the mirror and didn't see the lightening that she was talking to and then I realized that maybe she's saying grey hair but in a euphemistic way and I'm not actually turning back to the blonde I was until I was five.  Sigh. 

If she says it again I'll try to remember to ask "do you mean greys?" because I don't need euphemisms, I know my body is aging.
