We are NOT Amused

You, however, may well be. So, since I'm currently not finding humor in the loss of my new foundation and the most expensive of my make-up brushes, someone else is going to have to laugh for me.

Two days ago, I found Margaret playing in the bathroom. First clue: It's really quiet. Second clue: the water goes on and the response is, "I'm butting my teet!" Water off, and then, silence. Since Andrew and I were in the middle of a conversation with someone else, I didn't think anything of the fact that Savannah had gone up to bed and Margaret was still in the bathroom... Until 20 minutes later. That's when I realized that it was dead quiet in the bathroom and the light was still on. Going in to turn the light off, I find Margaret playing in the water with my most expensive makeup brush. Granted, I've had the brush for at least 10 years, (and used it twice...) but I recently re-discovered it's softness and have used it twice in the last week. So... after talking to Margaret about not playing with Mommy's makeup, (mind you, this is the third time in a week... the first time was with the "chapstick" that turned out to be powder foundation; the second was with something else out of my makeup box...) she went to bed and I tried to wash the lotion out of my brush

Today, I hear the water go on and tell Margaret to come out of the bathroom. Again, the teeth excuse. Then the water doesn't go off, and the Margaret noise is non-existent. So... I say again, "Please turn the water off..." and hear; "I am wating the tink!" This is never a good idea to let a three year old wash your sink. When I went to clean up the "soap" I discovered that she had emptied an entire bottle of my brand new matches my skin tone really well I'll be keeping the Mary Kay Lady in business foundation. And then, used the brush that I had rescued to "paint" the sink and the towel and the makeup box and probably herself with watered down foundation. I wasn't anticipating having to purchase foundation quite so soon.

Why can't she just stick to playing with my shoes?????????

Today, she's NOT a Sweetie Pie.

I know you aren't laughing, but thanks for sharing, (I admit to a little chuckle) That's life with a 2-3 year old:)

I can so Empathize with you...Although, mine is a boy, so we worry about him a little bit when we find him covered in mascara and eyeshadow. He'll grow out of it right?

Ha Ha! My friend has a son who likes to go in her bathroom and spray her Bath & Body Works Body Spray. She told him one day, that since he likes to spray it so much, he could go outside on the deck and pump it until it was gone (it was 3/4 full by the way). He stood outside in a Superman costume and sprayed till it was gone. He was a little pale from the smell...but he hasn't ever touched her stuff in the bathroom!
