Chapter 4: "And the Tables Turned"

Today is Valentine's Day, and the Korean tradition is that girls give boys chocolates and stuff, and the boys give girls stuff back on White Day, which is in March. I got some chocolates today, and....lipstick! Yes, a little boy in my class gave me some Estee Lauder lipstick ^.^ It's kind of my color!

My mother, who reads this blog, will probably appreciate the irony here. My mother sells Mary Kay, and during my school years, I often gave my teachers makeup instead of the normal chocolates or candy or gift certificates. While makeup is lovely, I wasn't terribly comfortable with this arrangement. I'm amused; I am the teacher now, and now I'm getting makeup from kids.

Plus it's a competing brand to Mary Kay. I may wear it just to watch you get your knickers in a knot, Mom ;-)
