Marker for Lipstick
After an hour of, “GO TO SLEEP. GET IN YOUR BED. QUIT PLAYING. GETINBED. QUIT. BED. QUIT. SLEEP. SILENCE!!!!”
It did grow quiet. I have written before about the fact that silence is not, in fact…. golden.
You see it was silent not because Lucy had fallen asleep. N-to-the-O-T.
Instead, she was quietly making herself pretty. She is VERY MUCH into making herself pretty. And for a four year old girl, color is pretty… no matter the source. In this case… it was marker as lipstick. And apparently a bit of “rouge” for her forehead:
She came downstairs… she said she was “Firsty.” I with my laptop and my husband with his… all snuggled into our onlinez. Both Paul and I groaned and each half-barked… “Lucy! You NEED to go to bed!”
And then we saw her pretty red lips.
Paul said, “My. You sure look pretty. Is that Mommy’s lipstick?”
Lucy said, “It’s not yipstick Daddy, it’s just marker.”
Just marker.
Being the stellar parent that I am… I busted-up laughing. Being the even stellarer parent that he is, my husband said, “Lucy. I need to take a picture.”
Good move daddy… I took a picture back in July when I discovered her sitting on the counter… after a play date with actual lipstick.

THANK God you have a camera handy…
She’s far more adept at putting on makeup than I am.
I say she’s genius and just getting a headstart on permanent makeup.
Wow. I’ve had my kids put marker on many parts of their bodies but never as lipstick. That’s going to be a pain to get off!
She’s going to be the first one of your kids to get a tattoo, just you wait!
Very funny. I hope it wasn’t permanent marker!

CASTING FABULOUS, OUTRAGEOUS AND FUNNY FAMILIES FOR A NEW DOCUSERIES, “MY FAMILY”
Major cable network is searching for a large, extended and multi-generational family to be the stars of their own comedy reality show. We’re looking for funny families that REDEFINE THE TRADITIONAL and BREAK THE MOLD of your typical ho-hum American household. This show will document their lives and explore the family’s complexity while witnessing the craziness, chaos and love that makes their family special.
• At your annual Thanksgiving dinner, do you look around and think your family should have a reality show because no one would believe it otherwise?
• Do you find yourself having to explain your family dynamic to those unfamiliar with how things work in your non-traditional household?
• Do your siblings, parents, in-laws or hired help bring a new element that pushes the envelope? Maybe someone is in a May/Dec relationship or has taken on responsibilities or roles that might deviate from the norm? Perhaps one of them is gay or was adopted from a far-flung exotic locale? Is there someone of a different race or ethnicity that’s mixing things up in your previously homogenous family?
If your family puts the FUN in dysFUNctional, then this is the show for you!!!
Tell us about you and your family.
The good, the bad and the ugly.
Please email RJ@IconicCasting.com with the following information:
All Family Names, ages and occupations.
A brief bio about your immediate and extended family.

Contact Phone numbers for the main contact in each family.
*This is a feel good show where at the end of the day LOVE CONQUERS ALL.
* All family members involved must live in close proximity to one another.

I’m thinking that would save a lot of time the next day, that whole marker-makeup the night before. She’s onto something!
