Mom’s Lipstick
Daksh knew where to look for his mother’s lipstick. He quickly went and took his mother’s red lipstick from her drawer and walked around the house, trying to apply the lipstick. His mother, watching him, showed him how to do it. Following his mother’s action, he tried to apply on his lips. Though some strokes went here and there, he succeeded in applying it.
“Ye hamesha meri lipstick se khel ta hai.” (He always plays with my lipstick. Sometimes, he even eats it.) said the mother laughingly.
