A couple weeks ago when my skin was looking stellar, and by that I mean like a pepperoni pizza…
Ava: I like your dots! (referring to the lovely pimple colony invading my forehead).
Husband laughter.
Me: um, thanks babe. They are actually called pimples.
***************
Fast forward to yesterday…Skin is actually somewhat better than before. Not by much. Oil of Olay blemish control wash was a good idea in theory. I think I need to hit up Proactiv again.
Ava: I see that you have some pimples. she loves making small talk like she knows what’s going on.
Me: (o_O) not sure what to say. Trying not to sarcastically respond to my extremely observant 6 year old.
Me: yeah. I have pimples. That’s not really something you say to someone, that’s kind of rude.
Ava: oh. Sorry. Well I’m not going to get pimples because I don’t like them so I won’t get them.
Me: well that’s not really an option. I don’t like them either. You just just get them sometimes.

Guess she thinks she has a choice in the matter. Might as well keep it real and tell it like it is.
I guess I can threaten her with pimples to get her to wash her face. Just like I do with the rotten mouth picture from the dentist to get her to brush and floss. Parenting champ up in here.
I wish your daughter’s way would work because I don’t like pimples either.
She’s pretty smart that one. Now if she could just make that way work…
Damn.
And I was excited to give this a go because I’m almost finished my bottle of face wash.
Hey have you tried Acne Free…it’s a knock off of Proactiv but it is sooooo much cheaper. That’s what i’ve been using but it dries your skin out pretty fast.
*note, I do not work for Acne Free..
I have seen the commercials for Acne Free. I haven’t gotten Proactiv because I totally hate the smell. How’s the Acne Free?
Oh, man. She is whip smart and very observant. What’s a mama to do?
Be in trouble, that’s what!
wait, all I have to do is choose not to have pimples?!
Why the heck didn’t I think of that when I was a teen? Or this morning? Seriously, I’ve had a massive breakout.
Duh John! Didn’t you know that?
