    Good.

    It’s wild how much literal children are spending on cosmetics these days, and how much insecurity they are feeling because of it. I don’t have kids, but my family has a ton. I’m sitting there hearing a 14 year old talking about needing anti-aging cream and wrinkle smoother whatever. My aunt complains that all her girl grandkids want to do is go to Sephora. I go in the store with my wife and half the people are under 16. 12 year old girls are scrolling Tiktok for beauty advice.

    I’m not a prude who thinks kids shouldn’t wear makeup, but the level of insecurity in today’s kids is scary.
