Making Up

I am playing with mommy’s make up
While she’s tired and putting her feet up
I’m supposed to be having rest too
But face painting’s a fun thing to do.

Mommy placed the curlers in my hair
She tells me it gives me added flair
So I’m painting my face, as mom does
Hoping it makes her happy heart buzz.

My hair will become curly whirly
And my face decidedly girly 
With my lips covered in red lipstick 
Blusher on my cheeks, and green eyelids.

Mommy is bound to have a surprise
When she wakes up and opens her eyes 
I'm sure she'll say that I look charming
Don't know what she means by self harming.

Duke Beaufort July 17, 2025 at 4:10 AM Beryl, too funny. You've touched a very interesting subject with great humor and perspective into the mind of a child as well. The confluence of adult thinking covers the idea really well! Smiles!!
