and those blonde highlights

emily: . . . better than talking about your hair . . . all the time.
E2: What? What about your hair?
M2: No, really . . . they always come up to Emily and start talking about her hair. (Blank) and (Blank), whenever they see her.
emily: Yeah, and it's . . . sassy . . . (word was filled in for person in charge by M2)
M2: Would you rather me say, "Emily. She's punk rock!"? (lame finger pointing gesture and squishy face)
emily: Really. No.

I think they get so excited that it's not Elmo-colored anymore. I practically blend into the scenery . . . or look like a normal person. . "Love your hair . . . so cute short . . . and those blonde highlights . . . " So they are trying complete positive reinforcement

Which so doesn't work with the oppositionally defiant.

And E2 got a good snicker about me wanting a matching xmas tree, too.
