Mess.
When my daughter gets upset I tell her, “why don’t you go draw, or something”. The downside to this therapy is that we’re drowning in art. What’s worse is that she tapes her art to the walls, floor, and chairs. Then the chairs, table, and couches get rearranged to suit whatever imaginary scenario the two crazies happen to be acting out. I’m good for an hour of cleaning each week, but they’re cranking out mess at a rate of two hours per week. It’s got me thinking that maybe I should buy a nice video game system to siphon off some creative clutter. Or get a real job so that I can justify hiring a non-sassy cleaning assistant. Unable to hide her shock, the last cleaning lady sassed, “Geeeeeez, this place looks like someone’s been on a week long bender”.
If these are the extent of my problems, then I suppose life in Pittsburgh is all right.
Dude, you got to go for the sassy house cleaner. You don’t want Alice, you want Florence. More fun that way, trading barbs and such.
I second that emotion.
Sassy…and OCD, preferably.
At least your daughter’s artwork is pretty good. I’ve seen some people put up their kids drawings and it looked like… well, not art.
I am just glad that Kyle has outgrown his ‘art’ phase. I feel your pain! I thought you were going to Twitter young man??
Designate one or two walls, and maybe a table or cabinet, your daughter can paint on directly. Graffiti it up layer over layer. Maybe a lttle MC Escher introduction. Problem solved. You’re welcome.
I understand your point here cause I’ve been thru that myself. My daughter is 12 now. She used to cover all her bedroom walls with paintings like those. Not having room enough, she started with the wardrobe doors. We redecorated the room and now she has changed the paintings for Jonas Brothers posters!!!!!
On behalf of America, I would like to apologize for exporting the Jonas Brothers to Spain.
LOL
i love it when peeps hang their kids are work all over the house. i can’t stand model homes with perfect posterized art everwhere. makes me break out in hives. right up there with granite countertops.
That’s so awesome that they’re arting it up! I had a kirigami obsession when I was about 5. It’s like origami except with lots of cutting, so lots and lots of tiiiiny slices of paper all over the floors. Then my parents were like “GET A REAL JOB” etc.
