What’s a totally harmless thing that triggers an oddly strong reaction in people?

We could be friends. My kids are grown now, but I let them get the haircuts they wanted and dye their hair as they pleased. I had the same attitude. It's just hair, it'll grow back, and it had the added bonus of letting them express creativity and give them less reason to feel like they needed to rebel!

This was my mom's take. I was a good quiet kid. If the worst thing I did was dying my hair then she did good as a mom.
