Of course about half an hour into the process the doorbell rang. Why, oh why does someone always turn up as soon as the house is completely upside down????

Upside down
We're painting the entryway today... covering fingerprints, grime and crayon drawings that no one will admit to have drawn. Is the grammar on that right... sigh.. it's been one of those days.

May be this desire to draw on walls, eating surface soil, breaking toys and damaging things comes naturally from genes - whatever the scientific reasons be it's a trait every child inherits.
ReplyDeleteChildren love to tear their notebooks and scribble on walls and furniture, etc.
It reminds me a long forgotten tale. Once i drew on the inside of a car door with a ball-point pen and spoiled the whole door. I was given a sound beating and after that i refrained from damaging car doors - don't remember whether i stopped writing on the walls after that or not.
If you go down the memory lane, do you find yourself guilty of doing the same? :)

ReplyDeleteHow about "to having drawn" :-)
ReplyDeleteMaybe positively reformulating this to "paint therapy" would put a fun spin on it.
The doorbell only rings when the house is upside down. A friend once left me at the door for a long time, then opened it and said "oh, its only you". She thought it was her mother-in-law and had stripped all beds, and all furniture coverings so she could claim to her mother-in-law that the reason for the mess was a major "spring" cleaning.
What describe this is the word (Ironic)

ReplyDeleteWhen I was younger,and raising my children , not working full time -I had no problem having unexpected guests. Now I have no bell lol ;-)
A poem for you,hope you like it
Everyone should have a friend like you
You're so much fun to be with
Such a good person
That cracks me up with laughter
And touches my heart with kindness
Having a wonderful ability
To know when to offer advice
When to sit in quiet support
And time after time
I have realized how fortunate
I am that my life includes you
And really do believe that
Everybody should have a friend like you !
May Allah bless you and your lovely family always.
Maybe they didn't know the house was upside down and they just watned to say hi!
ReplyDeleteYeah, that always happens to me! Hate that! lol
