A friend came to visit me recently and somehow we got around to talking about odd requests. I told her about the time my son, then ten years old, asked me if he could dye his hair blue.
My friend was so shocked when I told her that I did dye his hair that I actually laughed out loud. He had it coloured on the first evening of the summer break and on the last day I gave him a buzzcut, so he went back to school with his hair as normal, if a little shorter.
My friend couldn't think of anything she's ever been asked to do that she thought was as shocking as that! So, over to you - have you ever been surprised/shocked by a request and what did you do?
