Mom does it, why can't I?

Because Mommy can, that's why!!! Just kidding. I have to wonder if that's what Hunter is thinking, or maybe he thinks that what Mommy is painting on the walls is just a bunch of scribbles instead of something constructive. Hunter is always being Mommy's little helper, whether it be vacuuming, dusting, helping stir something or putting frozen french fries into spitting hot grease..... pause for grandma's gasp of horror thought of their little boy anywhere near the oven... relax, there are somethings I won't let my little helper help me with.

The mystery of this latest work of art is that both Jason and I were in the same rooms as Hunter and neither one of us even caught a glimpse of what the little rascal was doing, until it was too late, and you know it's like a puppy when it goes pee or something, if you don't catch them in the act you can't really discipline them. Although, as soon as I did catch a glimpse of the wall, and I gasped, Hunter did immediatley go over to one of the walls he scribbled on and tried to erase it with his hands, saying "I do it", so he knew that he wasn't supposed to have done that. But you know the paint that the painters use in new homes, it's the BEST..... It's actually chalk, so if you take your fingernails and drag it down the wall, you will get the same Eeeking sound that you would get if you were actually doing this on a chalk board, so the chance of this bright blue marker coming out, even though they are washable markers is pretty much a joke. Not even a Mr. Clean sponge will take out the marker, although it does take off the actual chalk paint but still leaves the stain of the marker, go figure!!! I also have to wonder if you tell a child not to do something more than twice, in their little heads its like they cancel out the no's kind of like some early childhood mathematics, because I swear we have told Hunter a 100 times that markers are only for drawing on the board or on paper. So you figure a 100 times, cancelling out every 2 no's, it's pretty much like you never said anything in the first place.

My advice to parents: You have to have a sense of humor with your kids, because without it, what's the sense or enjoyment of having a child?
