Painting today... the after-affects

Mom:  E, what is this glitter spot on the floor?
E:  That is where I dropped my barbie purse.
Mom:  When stuff like that happens you need to clean it up.  It's okay that it happened, but you can't leave it there or it will ruin the carpet.
E:  Oh, I did take care of it.  I made sure to put more glitter glue on my barbie purse so it still looks nice.

Glad the real problem's solved. 

(And also glad I was in a "good-mother" mood and didn't yell "you may never use the sparkly glue again!!!!" or I might not have got to hear that funny response.  Not that I ever do that.... you know yell... at least not a lot.... um... or maybe.... whatever....hmmmm....)

I guess I shouldn't be so surprised.  Napping during paint-time is not the smartest thing ever.
