She held up a tube of lip gloss and asked, "Is dis for your wips or for your toes?"
"That's for your lips. Do you want to try some?"
Next, she pulled out a set of nail clippers. "Dis for clicking your toes. And your fingers, too?"
"Yes, for clipping your fingernails and toenails."
A stick of deodorant came next. "I want some of dis. Is for my shoulder."
"That's your armpit, not your shoulder."
"Oh. Okay... Dat tickles!"
Lotion was next. "Dis so I smell good..."
It went on and on with toiletry after toiletry. I think by the end we had it all sorted out. And I never passed such an enjoyable time scrubbing the toilet and wiping the sink... Children have a way of making everything in life a little more enjoyable.
That much I've got figured out.
