prom: beauty crisis

I've been reflecting on this shot for two days, mostly pondering with slight despair the mother I never was and probably never will be. It's probably best that I have a no-fuss no-muss boy child who would be unlikely to have such a crisis.

 

Girl in the Red Dress apparently lost one of her nail tips when, suddenly, A Mom swept in to save the moment. Mom reached into her purse, pulling out a tube of superglue.

 

Superglue? Do moms really carry superglue in their handbags? Does she always carry glue in there along with her keys and credit cards? Am I that out of the loop?

 

I was touched both by watching Red Dress Girl's distress and that someone in her life had the foresight to come equipped to help her out.
