I don't wear "mackup".

Saturday evening I met my friend and her two girls (my goddaughters) at Perkins (where kids eat free on Saturday nights!)

As soon as I sat down Anna (8) says to nobody in particular: There's something that looks different about Auntie Laura.

Me: I'm not wearing any makeup.

Anna: Oh.  You look really different.

Me:  I suppose it's because you've really only seen me with makeup on.

Anna sits looking at me trying to figure out how someone could look so different.

She asks if I have a pen, she asks her mom for a piece of paper.

Me: What are you going to write?

Anna:  It's a surprise.

Without me realizing, she slips the note in front of me.



The only response I could come up with was: I don't wear "mackup".
