Are They Your Children?

It is amazing how many strangers have approached me with the same question, 'Are they your children?'  When I tell them I am naturally blonde and I just dyed my hair dark it is inevitably followed by, 'Why would you want to do that?'  

I am just thankful they ask.  Others just give me strange looks and think I am either: 

A. A nanny from Russia who might do some night work on the side
B.  An older sister from an Arabian affair
C. Axel's mistress or 3rd wife

In the Middle East, any one of these options are possible and seem more likely than a natural blonde choosing to go dark.
