Naomi: What are you doing?Me: Putting on mascara.
Naomi: Why? You only will get it dirty at work.
Me: Probably true.
Naomi: That's why I don't wear make-up. I would only get it dirty at school.
Me: Good thinking. You're also a little young to wear make-up.
Naomi: Why?
Me: Make-up tries to take older women and make them look younger.
Naomi: Yeh. But that trick doesn't work for you.
Me: Mascara doesn't make me look younger?
Naomi: Not really. Your face always looks more like a twelve year old (pause) just with a whole lot of wrinkles.
Me: Thanks. I think.

I just really like your kid!
Thanks, Colleen. Me too.
While 12 is younger than my mascara is shooting for, it must sound like the pinnacle of sophistication to a six-year-old.
Too cute! You have a great way of telling the story to your readers
Priceless!
