I admit it, I am a little bit vain. Ok, a little bit more than that. I am moderately vain. Don't get me wrong, I will not spend outrageous amounts on clothing or shoes. (Besides being vain, I am cheap/thrifty-I know, what a combination!) In the last few weeks I have learned a few things from my children when it comes to lookin' good and a few reasons to scale the vanity back!
* Dogs don't like lipstick, and once your dog has licked your $20 tube of lipstick...chap stick looks good!
* Your favorite bra usually has the best elastic, which usually means that when one kid holds it, it will let allow the other to run a long, long distance before snapping and reminding them that it was not a toy. (It's OK to say, "Did you learn your lesson?" to the injured party at this point!) Take note-It will no longer be your best bra after that, it usually becomes the one you where when you fall behind on the laundry.
* High heels aerate the grass. And the heels peel when worn for a game of tag.
* The nicer the shoe, the more fun it is to run around in. Or set your PB&J sandwich in.
Now I know that none of this is done with malice, I would even venture to say that my kids are good kids. (After all they are my kids.) Eventually all the beatings should stop them from getting into situations like this, if not then we try lobotomies. ***DISCLAIMER*** That was a joke, I don't beat my kids. The lobotomy, well, that is still up for debate...lol! I know that looks and material things aren't everything (and aren't we glad that they are not!). Every single one of these events have become a great story for us to share about our kids and in time I might forgive them... After all, styles change and beauty fades...but happy childhood memories last forever!
