Lesson Learned

A couple of times a week we go to the park by our house and Ainsley and Channing play on the playground or ride their bikes while I walk around the jogging path that surrounds it. The other day we were there and I noticed that every time I walked by her Ainsley stood up, put her hands behind her back, said "hi mom", and watched me until I passed. Then she sat back down and began intently doing... whatever it was she didn't want me to see. I figured it couldn't be that big of a deal. I mean what was there to get into trouble with dirt, rocks, grass? I should have known better. When we went to the car to leave I found this.

She had found a marker and was giving herself a manicure. Lovely! A big thanks goes out to the person who left a black sharpie on the playground. A congratulations goes out to Ainsley for finding the one thing she shouldn't play with on the playground. Finally, a round of applause for the mother who was dumb enough NOT to investigate when she knew her kid was trying to hide something.
