mrs. lipstick?
friend, i'm listening to your teacher read the story. eyes forward please.
but- but- you have brown dirt on your nose. she says with wonder, leaning in to study my face.

an immediate check in the mirror reveals nothing but freckles - something fairly rare at our diverse school. it was that exact moment i realized i'd forgotten make-up this morning.
*sigh* it's been that kind of week.
