A conversation w my one (black) friend who works the library desk on Sunday nights.

On Sunday when I came in to the main library, I was snacking on a bag of carrots, and my one (black) friend who works the library desk on Sunday nights was like, "You eating carrots again?"

"Yep," I was like. "It keeps my hair red!"

And, since she frequently dyes her hair (she currently has tawny-blonde highlights), I added, "Isn't that what you do?"

Right away, she was like, "Yep."

Then, after a beat, she was like, "Actually, I drink red wine."
