Ah life is strange.
My DGS 16 years old has just asked if I have nail varnish remover to take his red fingertips off before he goes to school.
No he's not gay.
Glad I can be of help!!!!

Nothing surprises me when it comes to teenage GC - the boys more than the girls. Hairstyles are weird, jewellery unpredictable but so far as I know, none of them has yet put on nail varnish.

My university student granddaughter has just bleached one eyebrow blonde apparently (the other one is her natural dark brown). Her brother says she looks "weird". I guess her bright blue hair doesn't help smile

loopyloo, his fingertips or his fingernails? Had he worn nail varnish or done some craft or other?
My DS let my DD paint his toenails in their teens. He hadn't realised they wouldn't just wash off, and went around with glow-in-the-dark polish on for quite some time. Luckily, being a boy, his feet were usually covered.
He also wanted to have his legs shaved as he'd seen us doing it. So he stood on top of the loo while we each did a leg. Then came waxing, haha, that was fun. DS in the middle of the bed, his mate on one side and ne on the other. "We'll do it on the count of 3, ok?" Yes..."1, 2..." & we both had the same thought & yanked it off. Haha, he didn't do that again!
Oh, the joys of teenagers...his own DC will be a teenager in 5 short years!
