I think my first vivid memory was in preschool. We were sitting in a circle and my teacher was talking to us. She always wore a lot of blue eye shadow, and I always thought it looked funny. I was maybe 3 or 4 at the time. Anyway, I blurted out "your eyes look stupid!" ...she wasn't impressed and I was put in timeout for a while. I think I genuinely hurt her feelings, now I look back and cringe. I learned a bit about tact.

But I still hate excessive eye makeup.

Do you remember if she wore the eye makeup again after that? Also, I don't think you're alone with disliking excessive makeup.

I think she continued. Well, I'll just tell myself that...if a rude comment from a 3 year old was enough to make her change her appearance, then it probably bothered her a fair bit.
