(Hang in there, this one will take a minute for you to see where it is going)
This Thursday the family and I will be embarking on a cross country drive "vacation" to Colorado and then Utah. To help manage the "chillins" I bought a DVD system with DIVX player so I can connect up movies from our home theatre PC for hours and hours of Disney magic in the car without actually bringing DVD's for the kids to scratch and ruin.
I got two LCD screens mounted into headrests so the kids each have a screen I can remove so they dont whine about wanting a movie every time we are in the car for more than 2 minutes, and cant be stolen from inside the house. Great idea right?
WRONG! The beautifulness lasted about 30 minutes and came to a screeching halt when Sophie proclaimed "I'm drawing!"
.............................. You... WHAT?!
Crayon comes off of LCD for the most part, even ink is manageable with minimal damage...
Do you know what LCD screens hate?
The metal tips of headphones!
Good thing we were already home or I may have wrecked the car into a corn field. After informing Sophie that she ruins everything she "draws" on (clothes, walls: we recently had to paint a kitchen wall an accent color to hide ink, computer desks, etc...) Vivian said her bedtime prayer, of which I quote for you now: "And thank you for the special TV's my dad got for our drive to Colorado, and Jesus hope they aren't ruined."
Hard to stay mad at the two year old following that line from the 4 year old!
Oh how your posts make me fear what my child will be capable of in just a short time. How funny is the Karma for us to get children so much more creative then we ever were, paybacks a B
