“Mom, what did you do?!” said Lio. This what you could hear if your parent or caregiver had dyed green hair, nose rings, and a tattoo running down her arm. How would you react if this happened to you? I’ll tell you how I would.

I would have three phases of emotion, first is surprise and shock. Second is thinking it might be cool. Then a wave of embarrassment might hit me, I would think of getting looks everywhere we go and people thinking it’s weird. Then, I would remember they are my caregiver and like it or not I will have to get used to it.
