Today, my four year old son came into the restroom while I was applying my make-up, and asked me "Mommy, are you putting on make-up so that someone will love you?" FML

OP here! My son says funny things like this frequently, and it never offends me! I encourage his sense of humor, even if he doesn't know what he's saying or why it's funny! I even tell other people about it, so they can get a laugh too. I was encouraged by my brother to post on fml, because it was that funny! He'll tell me sometimes that I don't look pretty yet until I've completed my make-up. That question made my day. After he said it, I just started laughing really hard, and said that was funny. He said it wasn't funny, and told me to stop laughing, which made it funnier! I'm married, so I'm not trying to get someone to love me. I don't really wear a lot of make-up anyway, so it's not really the "high school girl make-up" thing either. And I am an adult. Oh yea, and I say "restroom"! Thanks for all the caring and funny comments! :)

"No, son, I'm applying makeup to look like I'm young enough for you to have never happened at all."

Don't take it personally OP, he's four and doesn't realize what he's saying. The right person will be attracted to you even without makeup. Keep your head up. :)

It sounds like something he picked up -e.g. 'why do people wear makeup? Some women wear it when they want to fall in love with me.' He might have made that connection. I'm sure it isn't about YOU - not personal.

In a few years time he'll learn that love != fsck.
