Living Art

This afternoon I while I was in the kitchen washing dishes, the kids were playing together in Justin's room. They weren't fighting and overall were being great. So I should not have been surprised when they walked in to show me Norah's art work. Justin's face, neck, hands and ears were covered in sharpie. When I asked her why she did it, she explained that she was trying to make him a cat-alligator (Whatever that is). We do NOT believe Justin's claim to be the injured party, knowing full well that he would not have stood still for it if he hadn't wanted it. After discussing it, Jeff and I are certain we know how the conversation went between them.

Norah: Justin, you want to be a cat? (He's frequently acted like one recently)
Justin: And an alligator!

Several face wipes were sacrificed to erase her work and only a few hints of smokey gray remain on him. The hardest part was trying not to laugh at the whole thing so as not to encourage further artistic displays on living beings, stationary objects and walls.
