That's when you bit her right and then went off to eat an entire wheel of cheese right?

Kids are great for that.

I've noticed that girls always look prettier without makeup if they don't wear makeup most of the time, if that makes sense /:

When you have done something you don't used to, you usually tend to hear any negative comment and ignore any positive ones. And vice versa.

If that's true, you definitely can never skip your upper-lip waxing!

#30, no, I'm a dude. I get to take the easy way out and shave, because I live in a society that allows me to have a little stubble.

That happened to me but I was told by my friend that I looked like I was hit in the face with a bag of bricks...

this isn't about you. PEACE! I'm out *drops mic and pulls up hood* P.S. you're pretty

What the?.,. You can't just attack a persons' comment and then say PEACE I'm out & pretend that you're some kind of wannabe hood rat & retreat. The saying; 'You can't see me if I can't see you' doesn't apply here I'm afraid.

OP don't take it wrong. She's only 7 and really doesn't know well. You could be very pretty and a 7 year old can always find a way to compare things.

Well it's not like the makeup is going anywhere, just go put it on if you're not satisfied.

i find that when people always wear makeup they usually seem odd looking without it. maybe you should go without for a while

Maybe the "abnormal" part in "abnormally self-confident" should have raised a red flag.

So, note to OP: lose the self confidence. It makes you look like a rat.
