Recently I won some skincare products in a contest. Previously I had not bothered with skincare before because it was expensive, I didn’t have the time and I’m lazy. Since, I have this set of expensive skincare, I might as well use it and so I did.
Naturally the kids became curious to see me applying stuff on my face. I explained that the products were supposed to make my skin look better.
The little one came closer to have a better look at my face and said “Mummy, actually your face is quite ugly” in all seriousness. I was trying hard not to laugh as I explained to him that my face is ugly because of all the pores whereas his skin is young and smooth.
A week later….
The little one came and peered at my face again and said “Mummy, how come you are not yet beautiful?” This time I couldn’t stand it anymore and I burst out laughing. Kids really can be painfully honest at times.
That’s why I don’t buy skincare products. However, I shall continue using this one since I won it and it is very expensive. Thankfully I didn’t pay any money for it, otherwise I would be heartbroken to hear that remark from my son.

I laughed too when I read this, children’s honesty can be quite brutal at times.
Therefore they come up with things like…
Mom: “Billy, why do you always get so dirty?”
Billy: “Because I am closer to the ground than you are”
Priceless.
