Sandy bought Easter Egg Coloring kits last year on mark down after the holiday. While the twins were too young last year to care, Sandy thought they were big enough now to appreciate the tradition of coloring Easter eggs. I thought she intended to simply allow them to watch her color the eggs from a safe distance, given her neat and orderly nature. So you can imagine my surprise when she and Grandma Roe each handed a toddler a cup of dye and a spoon. Sure, she covered the floor, table and high-chair trays with plastic, but these are active toddlers. We routinely find food deposits hidden throughout the area. I was flabbergasted. I couldn’t believe she freely handed over to hostile forces articles of mess construction. Why not paint guns next? But, my anxiety was misplaced and everyone had fun coloring eggs without incident.
