the fashion police

I met my mother this morning at the nail salon.
"Hi mom."
"Hi Leah."
"Do you notice anything different about me?"
"Um, your hair is straight?"
"Yessss... It's often straight. Do you notice anything different about my hair color?"
"You put red in it?"
"Yes, there's some red in it. It went from completely blond with blonder highlights to completely brown with red highlights. You didn't notice?"
"Oh. I see. [examining pause] Why did you decide to do that?"
"I dunno. I guess i thought it wouldn't matter, since no one would notice."
