I HATE GLITTER!!!!!!

[janradder]

I came downstairs from my shower to find that Éiden, who has been only wearing socks and underwear since tiring of his Superman costume, was covered -- and I do mean covered -- with glitter from his eyes all the way down to his ankles.

"Éiden, how did this happen?" I ask while futilely attempting to remove the glitter from his skin.

"I wanted to see which picture was mine."

On Sunday, the boys both made glitter pictures which were placed up high on a shelf to dry.  Apparently, finding out which picture was his involved carefully removing as much glitter from the pictures as was humanly possibly and then reapplying it to every inch of bare skin.  Arrrghhh!

Glitter is one of the main reasons I'm ecstatic I do not have girls.

I've got two boys and still I deal with the damn glitter. Yeeesh (and, of course, I was the one stupid enough to go buy it so I really have no one to blame but myself).

Glitter has been banned from all areas of my life.

As it rightly should. Like inviting a vampire into your house, only an idiot would let glitter past their threshold. Oh, wait. That would be me.

I love the awesome appropriateness of your chosen icon.

See, this is exactly reason why I did not include the industrial-sized canister of glitter in my box while raiding a retiring teacher's supplies today.

Glitter should be considered haz-mat and come with proper disposal protocol written on each jar.

(Are you a teacher?)

I'm not a teacher -- I'm the data geek (documentation and statistics) for the school's Healthy Start program, which provides physical and mental health services for kids K-12 and their families. I like being part of an organization in a small enough town that can actually help kids and see the results of our help.

That is nice, being able to see the results.

It's ok. We all make The Glitter Mistake at some point. I'm just grateful that I learned about glitter and it's evil ways before ever having children of my own.

But I have wrecked a museum or two with the stuff.

Glitter is evil, evil and powerful. All children love it; that is part of its power.

If only there were some talisman to repel its evil sway and power!
