That reminded me of my other oops moment with eye makeup. My wife had been off with the kids, and I used the time to dress. She warned me in plenty of time that she was coming home, but apparently I didn't do a good enough job removing the eyeliner & mascara. They were just walking through the door with my mother-in-law in tow, when my daughter looked up and said, "Are you wearing makeup?"
"Ughhh... no."
I made up some lie about it being grease or something, and headed for the bathroom. My wife came back there in a few moments, laughing, and helped me get it cleared up. Sheesh.
It's not like the kids have never seen me in eye makeup. I wear it when I go out to the club, but they think it's a rock 'n' roll thing. I don't think my mother-in-law would've bought that.
