Collette

My daily dose of self-esteem booster :

Yali, tugging on the end of my nose, I guess to examine my facial features…

“Are you wearing a mask?”

And later, as I was putting on a little make-up…

Patience : “Mom, are you drawing on yourself?”

Collette : “Sort of.”

Patience : “Mom, you shouldn’t did that. Why are you doing that?”

Collette : “To make me look better.”

Patience : “Oh…” Paused to contemplate. “Mom, you’re getting very old.”
