The set up: Tonight Gavin was brushing his teeth and readying for bed and I was doing the same. It was a long busy second week of school and little Gavin's eyes were red and tired but Gavin will not go to bed on his own especially after our recent house fire. So after Gavin brushed his teeth, he waited pacing side to side waving his tired arms and watching as I proceeded with my what seemed to be for ever evening ritual. You know you get to those middle age years and there is so much regular maintenance that goes into taking care of your self... like all those creams you need to apply for everything. Heel cream, elbow cream, neck tightening cream, eye cream, a different face cream after a toning cream ...
ehiy ehiy yiey. But before applying these creams, one must properly wash and prepare for the big application otherwise you can't properly sleep knowing you took a bunch of short cuts.
Jalo would never skimp on maintaining her beautiful skin, so why should I?
The story: I was washing my face with the Soni-care face brush which is great by the way! It is a 30 second scrub and after I rinsed my face, I proceeded to apply more special face cleanser so I could get in another 30 seconds. When Gavin realized I was going for a second wash he lost it....
"Ah MOM! Why are you washing your face again ....I am tired and wanna go to bed".
" Well Gavin, I am trying to keep my face looking young."
"You don't need to do that Mom."
"And why not?"
(With slight sarcasm and the accent on the word WORKING) Gavin says " BECAUSE IT'S NOT WORKING MOM!"
I began to laugh .
"NO MOM REALLY , YOU LOOK THE SAME AS YOU DID YESTERDAY. REALLY IT ISN'T WORKING!"
"Ah ha ha! You are so funny Gavin! Come on, let's go to bed."
