My Fault

After a detailed five minute review of the rules of priming with Big A and her friend H, I let them loose with paintbrushes and primer. Some of the rules included:

• Do not paint each other

• It's o.k. if you drop paint on the floor, but don't try to

• Don't glob the paint on

• Do not, under any circumstances, leave this room with the paintbrushes

• The windows do not need to be painted

• Nor do the electrical outlets

After believing that I had covered the major points and left little room for error, the dog showed up with stripes of primer on her black coat.
