The scenario at Grammy & Papaw's house the other night when Gracie was staying the night:
Since it was bedtime before Papaw got home, Gracie was told that Papaw would come up and kiss her goodnight as soon as he got home. It hadn't been too long after she went to bed when Papaw went up to kiss her. She was still awake, watching her movie (one of the privileges of staying the night at the grandparents!). Anyway, she didn't act very interested in Papaw wanting to kiss her goodnight; she actually wouldn't kiss him and told him not to kiss her. Papaw said "Well, can I at least kiss your hand?" To which she responded "only one time." He got the same response when he asked if he could kiss her forehead. It was very unusual for her to act like that, and of course, Papaw Phil was heartbroken.
The next day, after hearing the story, I asked Gracie "Why wouldn't you kiss Papaw Phil night-night last night?" To which she responded "I didn't want him to mess up my lipstick"!
I had put lip gloss on her before school that morning, and more than 12 hours later she didn't want him to mess it up...
After telling Dad (Papaw) that story, he responded, "we need to let her keep that up, especially when she wants to start dating"-I TOTALLY agree!!!
