Well my pet rats are adorable, so I would take that as a compliment to be honest.

Well can't really get angry at a 7 year old, they are blunt by nature.

Makeup enhances your look. So if OP's cousin isn't used to seeing her without the 'enhancement' she might not look AS pretty, as she normally would if she didn't wear makeup. If you catch my drift.

A more sophisticated and complete style of writing is required in the land of FML. Please adjust your text speak and abbreviations to form proper words. P.S. It makes you look lazy and uneducated.

40 I disagree.Ever heard of Tammy Faye Baker?Makeup did NOT enhance her look.More women should opt to go natural.

If I said something like that as a kid, I would have honestly thought it was a complement. I did have a pet rat that I thought was the cutest thing ever. That being said said, my mother would have slapped the hell out of me in front of god and everybody!
