Gran's Morning Surprise

Gran was over at our house. She was looking after me for the weekend (or keeping me company, as I am 16 years old). I was in bed still, not wanting to get up. It was about 10;00 in the morning and Gran was going into town.

She couldn't find Mum's hairspray. I doubt that Mum even left any, as she is a big fan of hairspray and has her hair sticking up like a perminant bed head.

Gran found a bottle and stupidly didn't read the label. The funny thing was it didn't look anything liek a hairspray bottle, it looked like... Well, what it was.

Gran basically sprayed a nice lot of home tanning lotion on her hair. She came into my room asking if she looked fine. I tried to be diplomatic and not to laugh (needless to say, it woke me up) as her hair was going ginger.

She went into town and came back about two hours later. By this time I was up and watching TV, she came in and sat down with a cup of tea. She then went to the bathroom as I finished off my cup of tea and then all of a sudden I could hear a sharp shrill coming from upstairs.

My Gran was suffering from chest pains so I went up to check she was OK.

"Jesus, have I looked like this all morning?!" She said, in a panic. She had discovered her ginger hair and then picked up the bottle and went, "Bloody tanning lotion? What an idiot!"

I begun to laugh and so did she, though she went into the shower straight away to wash it off.

As Mum was on holiday we didn't tell her til she got back. When she did however, we told her. We also told pretty much everyone in my family. My mum still laughs to this day (it was like 6 months ago) when she thinks about it.

Go figure, Gran must be blonde.
