I'm still laughing.

Me: So Grace, how was the birthday party this afternoon?

Grace: None of your bees-wask, mom.

Now I get it.

When I was first starting out in advertising I used to work with a woman who brushed her hair every day after lunch. She kept a little hairbrush in her desk drawer and, along with refreshing her lipstick after lunch, she also brushed her hair. At the time I thought that this seemed like a little bit much. I don't know why I thought this, since I put on lipstick about five times a day.

Nearly 15 years later I look in the mirror at the end of the day and think maybe she had something there.
