An evening spent playing dress up…
Me dressing up and the little one egging me on.
Her: No amma, you are not supposed to look like “amma”. You are supposed to look like a glamorous, stylish person.
Ouch. Bring out the war paint!

Much later, after it was all over…
Her: I’m not saying you look bad when you put on all that stuff. But now you look like good old amma.
Sigh. Why do I put myself through this?
Me: Wonder which tree that leaf is from…
My supercilious 7 year old: Amma, what does the leaf look like?
Me: Hmmm, a heart?
Her: It’s a camel’s foot, silly.
