Many of you probably don't associate toilets and stamps but that is because you do not have a small child enjoys interior decorating. Because of this you have never had the pleasure of having said child use ordinary household items to beautify your home.
I would hate for you the reader not to be able to enjoy this so I'll see if I can help you. I am fan of using of specific examples so here are some things that you can do in your home.
- Lipstick on the floor, walls, duvet and face of small child.
- Postage stamps on the toilet, walls and various walls.
- Magic Marker can be used to decorate ordinary furniture. Give the ordinary an extraordinary sheen.
Some people are outsmarted by a fifth grader. I laugh at them. They must have ordinary fifth graders. Hah! They're missing out on the nachas generated by an almost 3 year old girl.
Updated with a small picture to protect the almost innocent.

The stories my mother could tell you would turn your hair white. Let's just say I preferred carving to any other form of beautifying.
Annie,
Sounds like you were quite the kid.
Ok - where are the pictures of said decorating?
LOL! I'm glad to see I'm not the only one! It makes you wish we still had Lick'em to Stick'em stamps!
Orieyenta,
This is the only picture that I was willing to share. It doesn't even begin to show what happened.
Babka,
Lickem stamps that tasted terrible would go a long way.
Oh, the horror! LOL!
My ILs once gave my daughter (~2 then) new markers. We were eating and talking when we noticed she was just too quiet. She was on the off-white couch, coloring it and her legs blue and red. My ILs felt horrible! (And I secretly enjoyed the guilt trip so much, it was worth the clean up)
Got pics to top that? ;)
Oh the upicture makes this post even THAT MUCH BETTER.
Jack- I was a horror. Fortunately I'm "better" now.
Shelli,
Thanks.
Chana,
I think that I do, but I hope that I am wrong.
Orie,
Thanks.
Annie,
My mother still runs into people who ask how she and my father could have had more kids after me. 38 years later and they still remember.
