"Mom, you know what's weird? When you don't wear makeup, you don't look as pretty as when you do wear it. Like, I mean, you look WAY better with makeup on."
It took everything for me to not plug my ears, stick my tongue out and be all "THAT'S NOT WHAT YOUR AUNTIE SAID!. Instead, I simply asked him this question.
"So, basically, what you're saying is I'm ugly and I need makeup to be pretty?"
Which, I realize now was a horrible thing for a mother to say to her sensitive son who loves her more than anything in the world and how always tells her how beatiful he thinks she is, but I'm psychotic when it comes to these "issues" so I said it and I can't take it back.
"Mom! That's not what I'm saying at all. I'm just saying that the make up makes you look prettier."
"Right, so, I'm ugly without it."
Again, I TOTALLY SHOULDN'T HAVE SAID THAT, because, deep down I know what he was trying to say, but, again, I'M A PSYCHO, so, I said it.
"Mom, that's not what I meant, I just meant, CAN WE PLEASE END THIS CONVERSATON NOW?"







Stumbling upon your site through Macca's blog was the best accident! I can only hope I don't scare you if you can see how hard I stalk your site while I'm in the office. Keep up the good work and thanks for helping me kill my day... even if I could totally get fired for lauging out loud at my desk.
