Tats For Tots

DAILY SNACK

First Tatoo

Reenie and I had just picked up Young C from nursery school,

And we were headed to the park.

“Hey, what’s that on your arm? Did somebody dab you with a paint brush?

Or is it a tattoo?”

“What?” And he looks at his arm.

Huge grin.

“It’s blue just like Dad’s!”

Huh.

“Well, Dad’s doesn’t come off. Yours will wash off in the bath.”

Cue whining.

“But I don’t waaaant it to waaash off! I’m not washing my own arm!”

Tattoos.

I thought we might reach four years of age before that became an issue.
