Why I deplore chapstick on my lips.

          Sarah here. I am excited about us kiddies blog here. I would like to use ALL CAPS to write as I usually yell everything I say, but I shall resist that urge.

          My point in speaking today is that I would like to officially protest larger people (like parents and babysitters) to coming up to me, locking my head, and wiping a dry irritating cloth on my face while in the process of pinching my nose...again...and again...and again.

          Besides being highly invasive, you are stealing my natural chapstick.
          You see this desert is very dry, especially in winter...imagine that. During this time my skin becomes very chapped and dry, especially my lips and cheeks. I have been fortunate enough every winter, all season long, to have a natural chapstick cover my lips and cheeks that prevents my skin from drying out...haven't you ever seen pigs and elephants use mud to keep their skin moisturized? These secretions work beautifully.
          Well this is the case for me. Here I have this beautiful lubricant and moisturizer being secreted from my nares and people just keep coming up to me and wiping it away. Why? Make your own and stop stealing mine.
          Another beautiful thing is that when my mom or dad pick me up and their shirts steal all my natural chapstick, my nose quickly will give more to ensure my soft baby skin.
          I deplore the idea of store-bought, synthetic chapstick being put on your lips. Why else would they put those fruity and camphor-flavored morsels of goodness in nice little tubes perfect for my handsize. It is a buttery candy-bar so if you want me to use it, great keep giving them to me, but don't you go stipulating how I use them. Those are for eating--do you wipe butter or bacon fat all over your lips just to make them not dry out? Of course not so let my body take care of itself and stop being a secretion pirate.  --Sarah
