Do they make lipstick in that color?

Apr 24th, 2006 by Accidental Thinker

The weather has been warm here in sunny Florida, so yesterday we made our first venture into the swimming pool at my parents’ new house. The 78° water was a little chilly for our thin blood, but survivable. Unless you happen to be a certain three-year-old. Lured by the waterfall, he refused all attempts to recall him to dry land, despite his shivering. By the time the pruned boy finally consented to solid ground and a towel, his lips were blue. Maia dramatically proclaimed that they looked purple, then inquired as to the shade of her own lips. She, being slightly more adaptable to the differential in temperature between water and air, had a perfectly pink kisser, and we told her so.

Noah, not to be left out of the conversation, piped up, "My lips are green!"

The answer to your title is “Yes.” Especially if there is more than one girl in your house. Don’t forget: they have girlfriends, too. Ah, those were the days…

78 degrees is cold? I’ve been swimming in lake Michigan in April. Now that’s cold.

Unless I was having a GREEN Popsicle, I can’t ever remember having green lips! ~ jb///

It was 90 here a week ago. Tonight it will be on the 40s with highs in the 60s tomorrow. From the pool back to the spa. And, oh, how I remembered a young neighbor boy – blue and convulsivly shivering shouting, “I’M NOT CHIBBERING!!”. His mother had just insisted he get out of the pool and into his Saturday night bath. You are not alone, Monique. 🙂
