Avatar hands

I decided it was time to repeat my coloured pasta collection for the twins. This time, I was a bit more adventurous and did all the primary colours as well as green and orange. The first batch I made were blue ones and they were a bit wet, hence staining my fingers pretty.


















Evan saw my hand from a far and demanded I wash my hands and that my hands were dirty. I acceded but showed him that the blue wouldn't come off. He then went around telling everyone in the house that Mommy had dirty hands. Then, while getting him to bed for his nap, I reached out to stroke his hand. He recoiled from my hand as I were going to slap him.

Evan: Mommy, don't touch Evan!
Me: Why?
Evan: Mommy has dirty hands. Don't touch Evan. Evan become dirty.
Me: Ok, can I touch you with my clean hand?
Evan: Let Evan see hand. (Examines my other hand and thankfully misses the yellow stains on it). Ok, Mommy sayang Evan with clean hand.

Right. Ungrateful child. I do however have prettily coloured elbow shaped pasta for the twins to play with. I'm going to give them some string and they can make colourful pasta bead necklaces.

Incidentally, I dropped two blue pasta shells into my pail of steaming hot herbal bath water. I commented to the Nanny that if I came out Avatar blue after my bath, it was because of the dyed blue pasta shells. She laughed so hard she almost dropped Muffin. She also told Muffin that his Mommy was certifiably nuts.

But we already knew that.
