Ha, this truly gave me the laughs I needed this morning. My daughter is 6 and still obsessed with eyelashes... she understands that sometimes boys can have pretty eyelashes too, but believes mostly girls do (because so many, if not all, the female dolls, stuffies, and cartoon characters have exxageratedly long/striking eyelashes). Sadly our culture encourages little girls at even such young ages to have this obsession with enhancing their beauty and confusion over what is natural vs enhanced... Ignoring that reality as some of the crazy moms who responded is not going to work either!
