When I was four, I saw one of the day care workers put on foundation.
Because it looked so much like skin, I then thought that the foundation itself was fake skin and that you put it on to prevent your skin from falling off. So I believed that when I got older like the workers, I would have to use foundation to prevent my own skin from falling off.
