Two minutes is all it took…
Two minutes is all it took… Just two lousy minutes…
I walked back into my living room, thinking to myself, what has he gotten into this time, as my house was all too quiet. Anyone with two walking toddlers knows that a queit house usually means trouble! As I turned the corner there he sits…. right in the middle of his creation, and in the softest voice ask ”Isn’t it pretty mommy?’ he has covered my once beige carpet to pink. His paint, Strawberry Trix yogurt!
I stoped dead in my tracks, shaking my head, thinking I have another chiild…. but where is this other child, where did my little girl go… As I walked further into my living room, there she sits…. as if she was all inocent in all of this. She too is holding a pink yogurt, curtisy of her big brother I am asuming, she has also used the trix yogurt as paint, but as body paint
I just left the room for two minutes, three at the most to start a load of laundry! Now I get to shampoo my carpet and hope and pray that the pink trix yogurt will come out!
As aggrivating as the whole thing is/was, someday you’ll catch yourself getting all choked up when you retell the story. But for now, good luck with the stains. I don’t know what you’ve tried, but when everything else fails, I alway usually resort to a very dilute mix of Dawn dish liquid and water. Dawn will take most fat-based food stains out. Works wonders on chocolate milk stains on clothes.
