brain damage.

In the words of Bill Cosby, "All children have brain damage."

Last night we found Carly's hands, pillow, and bed covers covered in blue/green marker.

Me: "Carly, what happened?"
Carly: "I dunno."
(I discover the marker hidden beneath her sheets.)
Me: "CARLY! What were you doing?"
Carly: "I dunno."
Me:"What would possess you to do this?"
Carly: "I dunno."

This picture was taken after scrubbing her little hands raw with soap and water!
Caught Blue/Green Handed (with puppy dog eyes)

I'm not sure if she was trying to become Smurfette or Kermit the frog, but one thing I know for sure... all children have brain damage!

Sidenotes:

1. My children have returned to their normal mischievous, misbehaving selves so I'm sure that I'll have plenty to post about.

2. The audio clip is from Bill Cosby's stand-up album, Himself (available on iTunes). I highly recommend it to all parents! Click here to watch a clip.

You have the best things to blog about. I love reading your blogs. Kids do the craziest things. Cameron gave me the same puppy eyes when I caught him tearing down the wall paper in his room.

Wow... I leave for a few days and suddenly Carly has new/different/colored bedding, you've been in and out of a rut & you've received yet another package from the US. Guess I can't go anywhere from now on.

At least she didn't shave off her eyebrows! The marker will eventually wash off. She would be a cute smurf-I'll call her smurfette.

Too funny. It's nice to hear what I have to look forward too. I hope they have clorox 2 in Chili to take out the marker. :)

i was just remembering how ammon would practice his faces so they'd be more convincing.

i wonder if his daughter is following in his footsteps.

the apple don't fall too far from the tree.

That's sooo funny!!! I was just listening to that yesterday on my IPod and was laughing so hard b/c Keira is at the age where I understand the humor in it even better! Kids do have brain damage! When do you think they out grow it??

Hey, I was wondering if the links on the side of your page are adlinks? I'm trying to add some of my favorite things but haven't figured it out yet. Any advice?
