03/11/15 Grif.Net – Green Hair Day

As I was taking a walk with my little granddaughter one day, I noticed
something green in her hair. To my disbelief I pulled out a piece of
lettuce from her hair (leftover from lunch probably) and showed it to her.

“Whoa!” she exclaimed, “is there anything else in there?”

“Maybe so!” I teased. “That might be just the tip of the iceberg!”
