Girls grow up so fast these days...

Six year old Heidi brought a little compact of blush to class last Sunday. She said her mom had given it to her because it was almost empty. Every ten minutes she took it out of her purse and industriously brushed copper-colored blush all over her face (including forehead, chin, and nose! ; )) Fortunantly she's half Mexican, so her skin is already the color of copper. It was cute, but it made me wonder why girls--little girls at that--want makeup at such early ages. Not that I'm against makeup. I certainly wear a fair amount. But I'm 19, not six! And I certainly didn't care a whit about it six. Something just feels wrong to me when I see little girls looking and acting like much older almost-women.

*Note: I get annoyed when people pronouce genuine as gen-u-wine. I forget who kept doing that today, but I felt like slapping them each time.

*Kuzco (our kitten) is healing nicely from his Mysterious Wound and has gained quite a bit of weight. Instead of being skin and bones, he's getting a fat little tummy! He's so cute. I haven't had such a playful pet in ages.

I think it's almost the same as girls playing house, or boys playing soldiers. they look at what older people do and copy what they know. *shrug* I never was like that because, um, my mom doesn't wear makeup, and doesn't make that sort of thing a big part of her life! My sister did, but it was a little thing that took 2 min. in the morning.
