Yesterday I was relaxing on the couch enjoying a new series
called “Devious Maids” when all goes incredibly quiet, and I’m wondering what
the girls are up to.
I called them and Kaylin comes peeping around the corner to
reveal the word “Hello!” written on her forehead with permanent marker, a very
trendy mustache and a tattoo on her forearm.
Awesome!
I called Meg (my older and supposedly more responsible one) and she
came giggling around the corner thinking it was very funny. I did think it was funny, but how funny is it
if the game is totally one-sided, right?
I said “Ok, fair is fair – let's finish your game”.
I made Megan sit down and told Kaylin to go
and fetch her permanent marker so that she could return the favour and sprinkle her 7 year old art all over her big sisters face.
Megan was still giggling, obviously thinking
that I wouldn’t go through with it. I
made her sit down in the chair and let Kaylin write what she wanted to on her
forehead, let her draw a lovely mustache on her oldest sister and a forearm
tattoo to match.
Meg was NOT impressed!
She kept wanting to run and squirm away, but I kept saying
“its only fair that Kaylin gets to draw just as nicely on your face”.
When Kaylin was finished and turned Megan’s chair around so that I could see
what she’d written, I nearly wet myself with laughter. Kaylin had written the word “BUM!” on her
forehead, drawn her a lovely bikers handle bar mustache and the forearm tattoo
was the drawing of a bum. I guess she wanted to write something offensive...well, as offensive as a 7 year old can get without getting into trouble.
Yip, Megan was
mortified and couldn’t wait to go scrub it off.
I told her she had to remain in her seat until her sister had tried to
scrub her face-art off. It was only fair
that Megan wait the same amount of time as Kaylin had to, right?
Am I a cruel mum or what?
Megan scrubbed her forehead red-raw with the nail brush trying
to get the ink off before school today.
Lesson learned?
I think so.
Devious Lassies.
