Things that make you go "Hmmmm..."

The other evening I walked into the dining room and was greeted by the sight of my daughter being creative with papier mache. Apparently, this project is something she has wanted to do for a long time. I believe she first had the idea in kindergarten, but realized even at the tender age of 5 that asking me for permission would get her a raised eyebrow but no access to newspaper and paste. In a show of perseverance and independence, she merely waited until she was old enough to gather the supplies herself, despite the years of waiting she had to undergo. It was probably only a coincidence that I was not present at the time she began.

Yeek. Isn't that going to hurt trying to get it off? Or did she have the foresight to shave her arm beforehand?

Ah! Wonderful creature! Creative and wise at the same time.

Does Mater have a wet saw?

Pssst! Hey, rora!

Next time when mom isn't around, try using PVA glue with the newspaper instead of wallpaper paste.

It sets even harder and is even more difficult to remove!

Guaranteed to keep younger siblings out of your way!
