A creative child can get into trouble in less than 30 seconds. This has been proven in the Taylor household.
I try to work from home a few afternoons a week during the Summer, which really means sitting at the computer for 3 or 4 minutes at a time before having to check on my very creative daughter…
Picture this scene: I am happily writing some instructions for work when I realize the house is just a little too quiet.
“Marla,” I call.
Silence.
“Maar-laaa”, I call again.
No answer.
“You know what that means, Mom.” This from Sam, 21.
“Okay, okay,” I sigh heavily.
To his credit, Sam hunts for her in the front of the house, while I go to the back.
“Found her,” he yells.
I come around the corner to see him pulling her by the feet out from behind a huge mirror that is hung in the corner of the living room.
“Oh my,” Sam says.
“Oh my,” I echo.
Marla has painted her entire face with red lipstick.
