I have this shelf that I picked up for $3.99 and a bottle of
spray paint that has been begging me to use it and get the shelf on the
wall. I finally took the boys outside to
play today and set up a painting station (a couple of 2x4s on the grass).
I sprayed the bottom of the shelf first and as I was ending
the first (rather thick) coat, I was at the end of the can!
We were all pretty hot so we played in the hose while I
waited for the shelf to dry. When I went
back to the shelf there was a large section in the middle of it where the paint
has been wiped away. This baffled
me. And I wondered out loud, “How did
the paint get wiped off?”
Max answered, “I don’t know.” So, I asked if he had sat on the shelf.
“No,” Max claimed.
Then I told him to turn around. The evidence was all over the seat of his
swim trunks. Brown paint all over the
back of them. I didn’t even try to wash
it out. I know when I’m going to spend a
lot of time on a fight and not win the battle.
It started to rain so I ran my shelf to shelter and
convinced the boys they should go inside too.
Too funny Em!
