My kids have been begging me to take them to the children’s museum for months, so I finally broke down this weekend and undertook the great trek (with their favorite aunt and grandpa in tow). Before we left, they asked me to paint their faces. This is what we came up with.
A pretty standard, boring crown (but doesn’t she wear it well?), and . . .
an awesome rocket ship with a rainbow contrail. I have to say, I’m very fond of this one and plan on adding it to my board. It’s perfect for my little boy, and I know there are others out there that will dig it. This is a good solution to the boy-wants-rainbow-dad-doesn’t-want-boy-to-have-rainbow dilemma, or as we face painters call it, the BWRDDWBTHR. True fact.
While I was painting my boy, he asked if he could have some of my cards so he could give them out if people asked about his face. It wasn’t a bad idea, so I was down with it. He said, “The more cards you give out, the more money you’ll get, so I’m going to give them to everyone!” In the end, I think he gave them to his grandpa and his aunt. 🙂
When a nice woman commented on his face and asked who painted it, he proudly said, “My mom did it.” Then he turned around and yelled, “Mom! Someone asked!” Of course, I wasn’t in the room at the time, and he didn’t give her a card. That’s my little marketing genius. He does make that rainbow look good though.
