Snow White is Responsible for the Bags Under My Eyes
A tacky gold crown and bright red bow topped her brown curls. A faux velvet gown barely disguised the pajamas she wore underneath. Her clear plastic high-heeled shoes bore Snow White's face, but made more noise than a Clydesdale as Alexis clomp-clomp-clomped into the room.
"Hi Grumpy," the Snow White impersonator said.
"Why am I Grumpy?" I asked.
"Because I'm Snow White and you're my dwarf," she continued.
"Oh," I said. "I don't want to be Grumpy. Can I be Happy instead?"
The Snow White impersonator thought for a moment and then said, "I guess."
"Hi, Happy!" the Snow White impersonator said. Apparently we were starting the conversation all over again.
"Hi, Snow White," I said, so as to play along.
The Snow White impersonator fell silent as she stared at me. After a long moment of squinty-eyed study, she said, "You don't look like Happy."
"But I feel like Happy," I said.
"No," she said.
"Well, I can't be Grumpy because daddy is Grumpy," I replied.
"Yeah, Daddy is Grumpy," she agreed.
She thought some more. And some more. And some more.
"Mommy, you be Sleepy Dwarf. THAT is who you look like," she said.
Gee, I wonder if the Snow White impersonator who wanders the halls at all hours of the night has anything to do with THAT?

Ha! That is hilarious! Something tells me, I would be Sleepy also. Could someone out there please tell me what works for dark under eye circles? Please?!
*snort* That is so funny! At least SWI didn't say you looked like Dopey.
@Jen - I find that getting enough sleep (if possible) is the best - unfortunately, not a reality for many of us!! - otherwise, find a good concealer! I have under-eye circles all the time - everyone in my family does, it can be a genetic thing too - but I find that a good concealer does wonders. :)
Is there a Vodka Dwarf?
@AndreAnna--If there is, I want to be his friend.
Ha ha! Sleepy might be the most accurate! (For all of us with kids!)
That picture is great. She is beautiful. I'm sure you know this, but: you're in trouble. What do you (or Mr. Husband) plan to keep near the front door? A baseball bat? Pitchfork? Keep those boys away!
@AndreAnna - Ha! You be Vodka Dwarf, I'll be Bourbon Dwarf.
Be happy she didn't make you Dopey! :) My kids would have done that and laughed more than was strictly necessary.
"Because I'm Snow White and you're my dwarf." Hilarious!
I'd at least be happy you're not Dopey.
