Recently, from our bathroom vanity...


JACKY
Mommy, why are you using that?

ME 
[putting on makeup in the mirror]
This? It's lipgloss.

JACKY
But why are you putting it on?

ME
[smiling]
Uh, so Mommy can look... pretty?


[silence]


ME
[really not feeling pretty/put together/etc but doesn't every mom
look pretty to their child?? isn't that like a law of the universe?]
Do you think Mommy is pretty?

JACKY
No

ME
[smile. even he can tell. damn.]

JACKY
You're not pretty. You're magical.

ME
Oh.... I'll take that, thank you.
[kiss]
