Yes, it’s as gross as it sounds.
Yesterday we were driving back from Wichita, my mom was with us. Hanna was in the back seat being relatively quiet, but I heard these quiet spitting sounds.
I have a HUGE issue with spitting. I think it’s disgusting. We’ve been going round and round about spitting lately ~ as Hanna has decided it’s super fun to spit. GROSS.
So anyway ~ I hear these small spitting sounds and I’m like what the heck is she doing back there. So I asked her. She exclaims ~
It’s SPIT PAINT!!
I look back and see she is covered from head to toe with spit ~ her hair is wet with spit. She is spitting in her hand, and then painting her entire body with spit.
DISGUSTING!!!!
I begin telling her how spit paint is pretty close to spitting and we don’t spit ~ yada yada yada . . .
In the middle of my very calm lecture about spitting she exlaims at the top of her lungs
But MOOOOOM… spit paint is GRRRREAAAAT!!! (imagine tony the tiger yelling great and that’s what she did)
At this point ~ I can’t even contain myself any more. I burst out laughing. I mean really ~ what kind of imagination does it take to come up with spit paint, and then be so overwhelmingly ecstatic about it???
I had to give the kid some credit. I never in a million years would have thought up spit paint.
My second thought ~ after I wiped the tears from my face was
SCHOOL!! she had to have learned this from school ~ and jokingly wondered what the hell I had gotten myself into. 🙂
