a pain in the butt

"You know, you really look great in those army boots, but would you like some flip-flops?" Jonah reached for a pink pair but grabbed the black ones with the skull and crossbones at Wal-mart.

Naturally, Lex was her sullen self. Not saying a word.

"I'm thinking we should all go in cognito. Change our hair color."

"What, be a carnie?" She looked up at him.

"I don't think we have to go that far. I just want to keep Josie safe." He sighed.

"Of course, you would." She stared at him.

Jonah rolled his eyes.

He tossed in some cheap ribbed tank-tops and pajamma pants as if they'd be doing a lot of lounging soon.

"Do you cook out?" He asked then.

"Do I look like I would?" She was cold. Almost hostile.

"Not really, but you could surprise me." Jonah shrugged.

"Are you saying I can't surprise you?" She snarled.

"I'm waiting." He smiled. He pushed the cart then toward hair colors. "We have to bleach her hair."

"Who's hair?"

He grabbed the scizzors, especially for barbers.

"We gotta make sure we get all the red out." He looked at every one of the hair dyes. "What did you use?"

"I went to a professional." Lex shrugged.

"What's the best?"

"None of these." She shook her head.

Jonah picked up Born Blond.

"No, never." She put it back. She looked at all the hair products.

"This is going to take forever, isn't it?" Jonah sighed as he watched Lex.
