I actually laughed at this when I saw it. When Vanessa anticipates being in trouble for something, she goes right into trying to calm us down before we've had a chance to react. I tried to explain we don't play in Mommy's purse without breaking a smile. I did relatively well. She was convinced she looked pretty: "It looks pretty, Mommy. I just put on your lipstick. It's okay, isn't it?"
