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! :)

Ha!! Good for you OP? encouraging his sense of humor, though be sure that he eventually learns that there can be a fine line between humor and being mean. But he's 4 right now so enjoy that laughter with him now and it's great that you have a kickass sense of humor as well.

That's an awesome sense of humour and for a four year old to have such a dry sense of humour is brilliant.

You know, your relationship with your son sounds like the relationship of George Carlin and his mother: his mother encouraged George Carlin's jokes and sense of humors. Just like you

I like George Carlin, and I like anyone who can make me laugh. I come from a family with dry and sarcastic senses of humor, and I always said if I can pick one trait from me for my child to inherit, I hope it's a good sense of humor! I'm proud that at 4 he's proving to have that! He makes me laugh on a daily basis, and I love it! :)

Nothing like a sense of humour for life, gets you through the bad and make the good better. Plus if any kids try to bully him I think they're going to get a nice dose of sarcasm!

Keep encouraging his sense of humor. Even if he doesn't become the next George Carlin, he will always be able to put a smile on people's face, and having that kind of your goes a very long way

It depends on the tone of voice whether or not this is sad. Children can sense when you are stressed and if you have low self esteem your son could sense it. He could sense it and be concerned about you and wants you to be happy and wants to find the reason why you are not happy.

I don't think he was trying to be insulting. if open is single, ops child might be asking if she wants to be taken out on a date. people need to understand kids aren't trying to be rude, they're trying to understand the world

I saw you're profile picture, and I can tell you definitely don't need makeup to look pretty. You have that natural beauty. Your husband's a very lucky guy.
