Do you remember those commercials? They seemed to be on the television set all the time when I was a kid. Some harried mother would be at her wits end and she would say, "Calgon, take me away." Then she would be magically transported to a tropical oasis sitting in a bathtub, experiencing perfect tranquility. Or something like that. The memory gets fuzzy sometimes.
Tonight as I was feeding my kids dinner I noticed a suspicious green mark on Porter's neck. I had gotten up to use the bathroom. I wasn't gone long. So what could this interesting green mark be? Marker, green marker to be exact. I asked Harmon why he was drawing on Porter. His answer? A perfectly justified, "He drew on me first." Sure enough, the back of Harmon's head was also a beautiful green. At this point I should mention that the dear husband is gone yet again, so I was left to deal with this on my own.
A little marker on the head isn't so bad, right? Then they pipe up and tell me that they have been coloring on the carpet beneath the table. Nothing quite like ruining base housing carpet. Bright green marker on blue (a hideous shade already) carpet in the middle of the floor. I was so mad. And what went through my mind? You got it....Calgon, take me away. PLEASE!!
LOL! That's what you get when you make fun of my boys doing it! :) Maybe they were just pretending to be the Hulk.
ReplyDeleteOh Annie, your boys are sooo cute! How could you ever get mad at them for coloring a little on the carpet. I promise you'll laught about it in a few years-or more!
