The other night, before Natalie's school Christmas program, she and I were getting ready together in my bathroom. I had curled her hair and she had put on her gorgeous dress. I had straightened my hair and was getting ready to put on makeup. It was a special occasion after all! As I was applying the foundation Natalie's eyes got big and round and her mouth formed a perfect O. And then she said this....
"MOM! I know what I can get you for Christmas!!! I will get you something to cover up all those wrinkles on your face!!!!"
She was so happy and excited that she had thought of such a perfect gift all by herself. She turned back to the mirror to twirl and pose. I also turned back to the mirror...to examine my wrinkles!
Ultimately I told her that I loved the thought she had put into her present idea, but maybe a tube of lipstick or a nice smelling perfume would be better. "But mom, that won't cover up those wrinkles...."
I love that child.
Gotta love her for trying to help. :) If you've got wrinkles, I wonder what she'd like to get her Nana for the 'craters'! Don't ask her, OK?
ReplyDeleteI also love that child! I'm still upset about having to miss her First Christmas Program! Please let me know when I can see the video. Mom.
