She's Giving Me A Complex

I was getting dressed for a playdate this morning, and as I was slipping on a pair of jeans, Camille observed, "Too tight. Tooooooo tight."

The thing is, these jeans are actually a little big on me. And she says everything is too tight on her. No matter what I put on her, she almost always remarks "Too tight" at some point as I dress her. But why does she have to now direct those comments at me?

Not too long after, she watched as I put on a little makeup.

Camille: "Mama put makeup!"

Me: "Yes, baby. Mama is putting on makeup."

(pause as she watches)

Camille: "More. Need more makeup, Mama."

This continued the entire time I was applying makeup. Thanks for the input, little stinker!
