A friend just emailed me this picture:
OH, THE HORROR OF IT ALL.
Some of you may have seen this picture via email, too – it seems to be making the rounds now – but can you even imagine? Where would you start?
Oh, I will be HAPPILY dusting this morning.
Maybe even cleaning the baseboards, too. :-)
I think I would just move!
Thanks for the pic…makes me feel better about my own house. BTW, my ABC meme is up! Thanks for the tag.
I’ve also subscribed to bloglines now…so I can keep up with everyone! YEAH, ME!
I think I might’ve just had a coronary. Right here at the table. If that happened to me, I PROMISE I would need to be checked into a hospital for long-term mental care, and my children would disappear. Forever. :)
What IS that?? Crisco? Spackle? Paint?
And whose FORMER children are those? ;)
Mercy, what I’ve got to do today doesn’t look all that bad anymore, either. :)
Okay, is that paint? Grout? What in the world???
Whatever it is, it just ain’t right. But you know that if someone still had sense enough after seeing that to take a picture, then they are probably taking it in stride.
I hope, anyway.
Some real serious Bev-type purging would be going on for sure. Look at that poor TV! You can clean the kids up but just look at that poor TV.
WHAT is that?? Oh, I would DIE!!! I don’t think that i would even have a steady hand to grab a camera – God love her!
I’m pretty sure it’s paint…if you click on the picture, it gets bigger, and it looks like a paint can.
You may as well just get the hose. Not much else you can do.
And pray. Pray is good. Pray after you count to 10.
That has to win some world’s funniest pic or something where you get $10,000- so she can replace the carpet, couch, tv, toys, two small children…
Oh- this poor mother!!! I can’t believe she had the presence of mind to take a picture. But then again, what can you do after something like this?
It makes me thankful that it was only desitin my son smeared all over his bed, himself and his room.
See…these pictures aren’t even remotely funny to me. They feel more like a fortune cookie. :-)
BTW, I have been out of town and just saw the sweet pictures of Alex from the luncheon. He’s a CUTIE pie. I want to kiss his little cheeks! And those eyes are heavenly!
They look so proud of themselves! I don’t know if I would laugh or cry.
that was a very nice person who stood and photographed the smiling little kids who did that, instead of flying into a rage. i say they deserve an award for their restraint and clearheadedness under such conditions. (the parents, not the kids. whose legs are freakishly covereed down to every last pore it seems.)
Now THATS a disaster! I think I’d have a stroke! It would take a lot of someone to not go crazy and stop and take a picture and possibly laugh about it. My hats off to them!
I would move.
Far away.
By myself.
:)
I don’t know if I should laugh or cry. I think I’d resign as the mommy.
I think I would be sitting on the side of the curb praying some sweet, old lady would come tell me that it would be ok and maybe even take me away.
I would start with one match. They tell me you have 2 minutes to get out of your house, and since the kids are right there, 2 minutes would be plenty of time. Strike it and leave. Never come back.
my hubby wants to know when the trial is for the parents. lol :)
HA!
This is my test comment, to see if my name changed. I didn’t think you would mind:)
Shoot. It didn’t.
Sarah – Clean out your cache. Change it to whatever you want the new name to be. Try again. :-)
You know it HAD to be the daddy who took that picture. Cause the kids? They don’t look one bit frightened.
Looks like those kids had GREAT fun!
Too funny…gotta be staged. Yes…let’s say it was staged and moments that bad don’t ever REALLY happen. O.k.? Please? ;)
I’m a little scared.
Brings to mind The Great Poopification of ’69.
My “Irish Twin” (14 mos. younger) sister and I would sometimes nap in the same crib. We both woke up with “business.” I took off our cloth diapers (it had to be me, she was only 6 mos. old) and created a “mural” that covered us, the crib, three walls, a window and Mamaw’s lace curtains.
OH MY! And the stench, and the smell of cleaners while cleaning, and the poor curtains, the TV, the carpet…OH MY!
Is there something wrong with the picture?
Oh, the kids have no clothes on. I see. :-)
