To dye daughter's pony pink?

[MitchyInge]

A bit late for regrets now, hopefully it will be nice surprise rather than horrible shock. It's just so cochineal when was aiming for subtle pastel pink.

[EccentricaGallumbits]

all the other ponies will laugh at it.

[StealthPolarBear]

erm...

[pickledmonkey]

are you jordan?

[MaisietheMorningsideCat]

What - you dyed a real, live horse pink with food colouring? In the name of the wee man, why??

[pedrothellama]

Please, please explain. I really, really am all ears? All yours. Off you go! You may begin...............

[MitchyInge]

As a surprise, she is having birthday party this evening and decorating some of the others. Thought would be nice head start so she could help her friends?

[MitchyInge]

Someone's going to phone the ILPH aren't they!

[drinkyourmilk]

I need a photo!

[KathyImLost]

But... a REAL pony? Pics plz.

[ShinyAndNew]

You mean 'My Little Pony' no? I thought they were all pink and ghastly glittery anyway?

[pedrothellama]

Couldn't you have just had a few balloons and a cake? Maybe push the boat out with a clown?

But to dye the pony pink?
Erm do you have a photo of this unfortunate novel animal?

[MitchyInge]

Can I upload to profile from iPhone? Will try . . .

[MaisietheMorningsideCat]

That still makes no sense at all - she's having a birthday party and decorating some of the other ponies, so you've dyed this one pink with food colouring?

What's wrong with bowling and pizza?

[Mouseface]

WTF...... you dyed a real live pony?????

PINK????

Oh I hope it's not permanent.........

Will await photo.

[CMOTdibbler]

Is he glittery yet too ? Bet you he rolls in some mud before the party !

[pedrothellama]

Wow - can't wait to see what happens on the kids 21st birthday! That is one party I really want to go to. I am getting right in with Mitchyinge's gang!

[OrmRenewed]

Will you also colour it's poo? Because that horse shit colour will not go with pink at all.

[BattyKoda]

Errrr...

[MitchyInge]

Bother, I can't. Is on my FB though, will have to add later.

Sooooo AIBU or NOT?

[Cogitoergosum]

'spose it makes a change from paint a pot parties.

[BattyKoda]

How the fuck do you dye a pony???

[pedrothellama]

Am I being stupid to wonder what colour is was before or is that now irrelevant?

[whatwasthatagain]

Oh Mitchy - just looked at your pics and your spaniel is almost as handsome as mine. You haven't really dyed a real life pony pink?

[Downdog]

YANBU, you are being Fantastic - wish you were my Mum! Yes photo please

(cochineal is harmless and will wash out with water)

[pedrothellama]

I don't care if you ABU or not. You are totally barking mad and I think you are great!
