Paint Box

Amy
batted
her long
lashes,
her bright
ruby
lips pursed.
Make up
was smeared
over
her cute
visage

Daddy
found her
with the
‘paint box.’
Oh no
Amy!
daddy 
exclaimed,
mummy
will be
so cross.

Tiny
tears formed
and her
ruby
red lips
wobbled.

Amy
didn’t
think that
using
mummy’s
make up
for her
own face
wasn’t 
allowed,
but then
again
Amy
is aged
just two!

Connie Marcum Wong Date: 12/10/2016 12:12:00 PM This is so sweet Jan. I can totally relate to this with my four-year-old granddaughter who says she wants to be just like me. When she watches me put on makeup she has to have a little powder and lipstick too. I love this! 7 ; ) Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 12/10/2016 4:33:00 PM aww cute Connie:-) I just imagined a little girl sneaking into her mum's room and using the 'paint box' especially mixing eye shadow colours lol:-) hugs Jan xx
