Upon returning home, we found this:
In case you can't decipher what it is, I'll fill you in. It's Plankton. Not the kind from the sea, but the character on Sponge Bob. He is a giant sugar cookie covered in frosting and sprinkles. I wasn't allowed to eat him or throw him away.After about 10 minutes, Sam and Makell offered a confession. They chipped the sink. After frosting cookies, Sam hurled the knife to the sink. It missed and chipped off a large piece on the edge. Makell proudly showed me how she found a can of oil-based, high gloss paint, and used it to camouflage the chip. Upon further examination, I discovered that she also used her artistic license to paint several other parts of the sink. Did I mention oil-based and high gloss? And the color isn't a good match. Honestly.
I stared at my sink this morning and wondered aloud if my kids are normal. Is there any other mother out there that has had her sink painted? By a ten year old? I fear the answer. I think I'll drown my sorrows in a cookie. One that looks like Plankton.

You taught them to be problem solvers. My kids never would have even told me about the chipped sink. They definately OWE you that cookie now! I hope you ate in slowly and made them watch!!
That cracks me up....and now I'm craving a cookie.
Your kids sound an awful lot like my brothers and sisters and me when were kids. I don't know if that makes you feel better or worse.
