Wicked Witch of Hawaii

Today was picture day so I tried to look nice. TRIED is the key word. I put on makeup and lipstick and a flower behind my ear....
First thing in the morning one of my sweet little girls said, "Miss Elson, you look....." (while she was thinking of the perfect word to describe me, I thought, "kids are so sweet!")
".... like a witch!" And 2 or 3 other kids said, "Yeah, you look like a witch!" I just started laughing. Leave it to me to put on makeup, and think I'm looking better than normal, only to have the most innocent, sweetest of kids tell me that I look like a witch. An hour or so later I heard one of my boys whisper to another student, "She really does look like a witch."
And the rest of the days I had kids giving me makeup tips, "Your makeup is too dark." "I like your lipstick." "Too much makeup, you look like my auntie."
It was pretty funny in a not so funny way.
