"Avoid smearing red lip gloss on your clothes.
It doesn't come out."
How did I become such a wealth of Housekeeping wisdom, you ask? Well, it's just possible that one day when I arrived to pick G up from day care, I noticed that he had a huge wet puddle all around his mouth (think: Bozo the Clown). I noticed a bottle of apple juice nearby, and was a little frustrated that I was picking up Juicy Boy when we were supposed to be going out to dinner. As my sweet son reached out his hands to hug me, I noticed something in his hand.. a broken-open girl's red lip gloss. This realization happened at the same time as his glossy fingers connected with my work clothes and his sweet neck pulled up against my face. You know - his neck which contained a 3 inch swath of lip gloss, including the 6 oz of gloss that were tucked into the chunky folds of his neck. Bonus tip: It is very difficult to remove lip gloss from neck folds. Mercy.
so, whose lip gloss was it? not sure to feel bad for them or annoyed that they let him get to it.
ReplyDeleteI know! The broken-off top was just the perfect size to choke a toddler. But thankfully, the only harm done was a ruined shirt.
