Matthew

Chapter 2: Nose rings and hair dye.

     "Hmmmm." i said, looking through the neon array of Matthew's hair dyes. "How 'bout that!" Matthew said aming his finger at an icy blue. "Ok," i replied, "With some limey green too!" Matthew nodded in agreement. He sat down on a little plastic box in our bathroom. I layed the out the dies and plopped myself onto the sink counter. Matthew loved to have his hair dyed in colors and put on peircings. The day he got his nose ring i was horrified. I told him, "if i were mom i would beat you!" Jokiingly of course. After that he laughed and picked me up to place me in the trash can outside our apartment. I kicked screamed and laughed. I finally reached the trash filled box only to finally riggle free. I giggled, thinking about that day. Matthew looked at me and did his creeper smile. In a happy eye roll i picked up the blue and began to trim Matthew's hair with it. The whole time i was doing one color he would sing a certain song. Matthew has an odd desire to be the next Michael Jackson. For blue, he sang Nevershoutnever!'s Happy. During the green period he sang ET by Katy Perry. As i did the tiny final stripe of pink Matthew sung Jar of Hearts by Christina Perri. This was our basic hair dying schedule.

             "All right," i said "Lets go to the playground!" "WOOP WOOP!!!" Matthew chanted, raising his hands in the air. We ran down to the tiny playground where our Mom was, doing her dailey "Paying the Rent" idea book. After Matthew gets his hair dyed we go down to our small playground so we can air dry his hair. I watched him do back flips on the trampoline while Mom continued to write in her journal. When we went in Mom had our meal from the neighboors. Matthew was trying to scuplt santa clause out of mashed potatoes, peas, and carrots. "Hmmmm." Matthew said, as he openened our cupboard looking for spices to make snow. My mom and i laughed and continued eating out potatoes.
