When I listen to my students at school I think it is so funny that kids just say whatever they are thinking. I always say I wish I could write down every funny thing I hear during the day because I always forget when I get home and I'm trying to tell Tim the story. I have had a cough and a pretty bad cold for going on 2 weeks. When I woke up on Monday my eyes were very irritated. I thought great now I have pink eye. So I didn't put on any eye makeup just in case I did have pink eye. When I got to school I went to the nurse to have her check it out. She said it wasn't pink eye and it looked more related to my allergies and being sick. All during the day I heard comments from my students about my face with no make up. Somethings I heard were:
"What happened to your face?" "Are you going to get your old eyes back?" "Are you going to be okay?" When I explained that I just wasn't wearing make-up because I wanted my eyes to get better one kid said, "When will you be able to wear make-up again?"
So I guess my lesson is I better wear make-up everyday so that my students can actually learn and not have to worry about what is wrong with my face all day.

You wouldn't think that kids that age cared about makeup.

How funny! Kids are the greatest at saying the most random things. While I was taking care of Samantha... she's 2.. we were out somewhere and I quietly farted... I didn't mean to but you know it just happens sometimes..! Sam said.. " Wow Jamie .. You're butt stinks".. in front of some playgroup mom's and other nanny's. I tried to play it off... but then just confessed while blushing.
And you're beautiful. You don't need makeup.
Funny, I had the same conversation with one of my kids today. I, too, am make-up free right now b/c of eye problems. One little girl asked why my eyes were different and I explained that a. I was wearing glasses and b. I was not wearing make-up.
She then proceeded to assure the rest of the class that it was ok, I just wasn't wearing make-up on my eyes. Apparently they were all worried and made her the spokesperson. HA!
Very funny story! Kids are so brutally honest sometimes. You should keep a notebook with you and write those things down. You could write a great book someday.
Super funny! The first time my nephew saw me without make-up he gasped and said, "Aunt Sarah, what happen your face!" He was about two, I think.
