walking against the stream

Ooops.

someone talked about offering face painting at Festival.

I said I thought it was a bad idea  - I don't want to have an argument with Rose telling her she can't have her face painted because it's not medieval, and I don't want to see a bunch of face painted kids.

I've been stomped on and now I'm wondering if I did the right thing.   Other parents are saying the face painting IS period because people would have been painted for plays.

No, She's just posted pictures of the sorts of pictures she' s planning to paint and they don't invoke a medieval play.  They just look modern. 

So...should I just lighten up?

Hmm, I still don't think I'll be letting Rose get her face painted.
