Orange lipstick??

When they were young (like under four), most all the punks went through a fingernail polish phase. Not surprising, when mom loved nail polish herself. One of the bedrooms in the DePere house was christened with red polish on the light grey carpet, curtesy of two-year old Lee, I think it was.

So when Jayden came wandering by the garden and work crew this afternoon with ORANGE LIPS, I wasn't too shocked.

Of course the coloring was from his snack - I have yet to figure out why tortilla chips are supposed to be more appealing with a coating of orange powder. Cheese? I don't think so.

The punks usually have good nutritious meals, so they can get away with junk food now and then. Such as when all the adults are elbow deep in farm work, and the punks have to fend for themselves. Set out a couple bags of crispy crunchy fake food, they're good for a couple more hours before we have to feed 'em. You do what ya gotta do, to get the work done on a farm...

The only thing I've seen do as good a job at turning lips orange, are cheese curls. Remember those? They are the empitome of puffed up empty calories. The orange coating is a bonus.
