Not likely. Unless he's got the super-fresh stuff, it's going to take
at least a couple hours for the dye to release. Even if he did get
some on his fingers, chances are slim that it would be there long
enough (or that it would get moist enough) to leave a stain. Don't
count on seeing it on his lips either -- the moisture is there, but
you're hard pressed to make henna PASTE stain lips, much less just
henna POWDER. The skin is far too thin.

You know, I knew a five-year-old who ran around saying "God vain! God
vain!" when she was mad. It turned out that another little kid had
told her that saying God's name and vain (supposed to be "in vain")
was a really bad cuss word... she was just trying to be "bad" but
wound up looking like a bigger idiot because of a misunderstanding. I
hope this isn't the case with this young man in question. NOT that
I'm condoning the use of hemp, but at least it makes more sense
than... sheesh. Kids these days!
