I don’t normally dress up for work. Fortunately I work in a company which does not follow strict guidelines as far as the dress code is concerned. We have people walking into their offices and labs wearing shorts and floaters (yes, floaters!). So it is quite an informal setting but occasionally there are times when I need to wear something a little more than casual, semi-formal so to speak.
Today was one such day.
So I got ready this morning, spending extra time to put on some make up (eye shadow, mascara, the works!) and trying to look my best. I was pretty happy with the overall look and the outcome of my efforts, although I must admit I have no sense of makeup and am pretty awful with it.
D was struggling with his breakfast, as he normally does. As I picked up the office satchel, he came running to give me his customary hug saying:
“Mama, you go to office
Papa goes to office
And I go to school!”
As he hugged me I noticed he was looking at my face funnily and inquisitively. And as expected, he asked me:
"What is THAT on your eye?" (pointing to my eye shadow)
I fluttered my eyes like a sexy siren and replied,
“It’s make-up sweetie. Doesn’t mama look……
But before I could finish, he puckers his nose up and says,
“Ewww, it looks like RASH!!!”
Thank you D, for the flattering compliment! I couldn’t have felt more fashionable!
