Make up
My daughter (who will be two next week) has developed a sudden infatuation with lipstick. She pretends everything is lipstick and acts like she is putting it on her lips. Last week she got into my purse and got my lipstick. I didn't get on to her too bad because I found it to be a wonderful Kodak moment. I did let her know that she was not to get into mommy's purse again or the end result would be for mommy to spank. She does know what the word spank means. The lipstick I am referring to, by the way is not your every day ordinary lipstick that easily wipes off. It is the 8 hour lipstick that you have to SCRUB off with baby oil. She had it on her clothes, face, hands, and some on the furniture. Last night she was almost asleep, so I told her I was going to go put up dinner and get the kitchen straightened. She was watching television and drinking her milk. When I finished, I peeked in to check on her and she was not on the couch. I went to her room and she wasn't there. I began to get worried. So, I went back in the living room and there she sat in the corner with my purse beside her and lipstick all over her mouth, hands, pajamas, etc. She had got out of the bath only minutes before I began cleaning the kitchen!! I calmly sat down beside her thinking...should I take more pictures?! I didn't smile. I kept the stern "mommy's mad face". I asked her if she was supposed to be in mommy's purse? She said NO. I said what did mommy say she was going to do next time you got into her purse? She said spank. So, I took the now empty tube of lipstick and laid it aside, stood her up and spanked her. Her heart crumbled. We went to the bathroom and began the long process of removing the 'stay on' lipstick. She was mad and so was I. More mad at myself for leaving my purse where she could reach it and now I was going to have to replace this $10 tube of lipstick that she had ruined...being a parent is tough.
