The story behind the jumper:

Lipstick

When I used to go to the fair, it was with my grandmother. She would put on a nice dress, paint her lips red and order a taxi. She didn’t have a driving licence and she didn’t like riding the bus. But I was over the moon. My grandmother did that especially for me, made herself up like that and ordered a taxi. And so my visit to the funfair was already a success.

Now that I’m older, I can see that she didn’t do that especially for me. She could hardly come out in her kitchen apron, because she wore that every day. But her putting on a dress and getting ready to go out with me was pure magic.

Do you do that too sometimes? Make yourself beautiful for someone? Or has anyone ever done that for you? I would love to hear about it.
