Facial Fail.

Sometime ago, during summer vacation, Sweetie asked if she and Lovey could have some cucumbers so they could do a facial. I had a cucumber already cut in the fridge so figured "why not?" (read on to find out WHY NOT!!!)

She scampered off happily to her "salon" with her new supplies and as far as I knew, all was well.

Fast forward a couple of months when I'm searching for something in her bedroom and find a container jammed under dresser up against the wall. I figured she had a stash of beads or something, until I tilted it and saw a gooey slimy mess through the plastic. I opened it up and immediately recognized the mess.

It turns out that Sweetie took the container down there, Lovey had it for awhile, then set it on her dresser but Sweetie couldn't find it so they just moved on to other activities.

I was about to go clean it out when I wondered "Why am I stuck with his stinky disgusting mess??!?!?" I quickly changed my plan. Since both were involved, I told them one could dump  & rinse the container and the other got to scrub it out. Then I waited for the wailing and hysterics to kick in. Instead they quickly scrambled for what they both considered the least disgusting job. Lovey wanted to dump & rinse it and Sweetie thought it was better to handle it after the offending items had been disposed of. Perfect!

Here's what Lovey thought of her end of the deal. Lesson learned? Hmmmmm. I'm probably the only one who gained any wisdom there. Don't let kids run off with fresh produce!!!
