All Made Up And No Where To Go!

As promised A here is the tale of Super Girl and MY Make-up.

Back when Super Girl was 2 I was pregnant and I had the habit of keeping what make-up I needed in my purse so I could put it on quickly in the car as hubby or D was driving me to my Dr appointments. My sister would also from time to time give me lipstick she thought I would like or other such things. During this time period of Super Girl being 2 I did daycare in my home for two little girls. One was about 3 months younger than Super Girl and the other was about 6 or 7 months old. In my house there was an island in the kitchen with cabinet space underneath. I kept one side unlocked for Super Girl and her partner in crime to play in. There were some plastic bowls and empty canisters for them to play with. One lovely day as I fed the baby, the two little goblins... I mean toddlers went into the kitchen to play. I heard the usual playing and giggling and squealing then silence. I knew that was a BAD sign. I asked what they were doing and got silence as a response. I put the baby in her crib for a minute as I investigated. I was unprepared for what I saw next. I opened the cabinet and saw the two of them sitting with my purse between them. Super Girl has shimmery fushia lipstick all over her eyelids and around her mouth, she had black mascara on her lips, her accomplice had the lipstick all over her face and had the mascara right under her nose like a little mustache. Their hands were covered in lipstick and mascara (water proof I might add), the inside of the cabinet door was also covered in lipstick and mascara. Super Girl looked like she was entering a Marilyn Manson look-alike contest and her accomplice looked like she just needed the black and red swastika arm band to make her look complete. Thankfully baby wipes can remove just about anything, so half a box of wipes later I had them cleaned up and seated in time out chairs so I could scrub out the inside of my cabinet.

No that's not the end of the story. The very next week I caught them with my purse again, this time Super Girl was brushing her teeth with the mascara and her accomplice had the dark red lipstick smeared on her face like a sloppy clown smile. Uggh! Again with the baby wipes and time outs. That was the last of the make up I kept in my purse for about a year or so. Now days I have two lipsticks in my purse - the kind that you paint on and it stays on all day. I have one gloss for this lipstick also as any other kind of gloss/chapstick I do buy becomes an instant kid magnet. I've seen far too many become snacks and appetizers for the little people. It's just not worth it to buy more.

Make-up and kids= trouble.
