Neko's school went to go see a former Iditarod participant speak today. He brought his sled, trophies, and one of his sled dogs.
After bath time, Neko asked if she could draw on a pair of socks with a permanent marker. The OCD in me heard a little voice in my head go, "DRAW ON SOCKS?! You can't draw on socks!" Isn't that against some kind of law?
I'm glad I didn't say it outloud, because then I started thinking about it. Socks don't cost a lot. And besides, when they're being worn, they're in shoes. No one sees them, anyway. Parenting lesson #462 learned, I handed over the Sharpie. And in about five minutes flat, a sled dog appeared before my eyes.
Mush! MUSH!
(Which is actually totally incorrect, as I learned today. They don't actually say "mush" at all." But it's too late to get into all those details.)
