"Derrick, what are you doing?"
The lipstick clattered into the sink as I turned to Mom and said, "I was curious."
She stared at me, then pulled a moist towelette from the box on the toilet tank and handed it to me. "I want you to wash every bit off."
I scrubbed my face with shaking hands as she picked up the lipstick and said, "This is not for you." She then opened the medicine cabinet, pulled out another tube, and said, "This is more your shade."
"Oh wow ... thanks."
"Just ask next time you want to borrow my makeup."
