Lesson in Parenting From Under a Pile of Laundry

When bonding with your child over the 100th Day of Kindergarten project, and you decide to get all show-offy and let your Kindergartner do the 100 Skittles rainbow you saw online, remember:

1) Skittles get messy in a 5 year old's fingers.

2) Skittles get mushy when put in contact with glue.

3) Skittles get melty when a 5 year old's fingers put them in contact with glue.

4) Messy, mushy, melty Skittles leave a rainbow of color on every surface in your kitchen and your 5 year old.

5) Construction paper is flimsy and gets soggy when you glue on 100 messy, mushy, melty Skittles.

6) A 2 year old will eat any and all Skittles that fall to the floor, regardless of how messy, mushy, melty, gluey, or papery stucky they are. 

7) That flimsy, soggy construction paper with the not-quite-dried messy, mushy, melty Skittles rainbow does not go into a back pack easily or cleanly or in one piece.

Happy 100th Day!
