This One Is For You Jeni!!
I've always bragged about not having a kid that wrote on walls,destroyed carpet or cut hair but now my darling sweet daughter has made up for them all! She cut her hair at two, started writing on her furniture recently and tonight we experienced "painting". Kate came into the kitchen and told me she was ready for bed. For a moment I thought about how lucky I was and that I could possibly get some extra sleep tonight, but when I turned around and looked into her sweet face I saw white splatters on it. Then she said , "I want to go to bed, but don't look at my hands, okay?" I remained calm and asked about the white stuff that was on her face and arms. "What is it?" "Where did you get it?" She didn't know what I was talking about, but kept her arms folded to hide her hands. After much convincing, she finally brought out the culprit - a small white can of paint - also known as White Out ! She explained she only got a little on the carpet, cuz it "plattered" when she opened it. It's funny how if it was my first child I would have nearly beat them, but with the last child she gets her picture taken and talked to about never painting with that cute little bottle again. Jeni will appreciate this once since her son painted the couch with her cute little paint bottle that is not water soluble. Wow!!
