...tupperware containers used to be for food. They are now used as hats.
...buckets used to be for mopping. They are now used to give plastic animals "baths" and flood my floor with water.
...laundry baskets were once for carrying laundry. They are now used as stepstools for reaching high cabinets and all other things supposedly out of a child's reach.
...masking tape was used to fix things. It is now used for making hopscotch squares on the downstairs carpet.
...eggs were for baking cookies and other delicious things. They are now breakable items that make grand and delightful messes when mommy is turned the other way.
...spoons were for eating ice cream. They are now used for stirring mommy's bathwater while she attempts, in vain, to take a peaceful bath.
...colanders were for draining noodles. Now? For filling with dirt and planting with lima beans.
...toothpaste was for brushing. It is now being squirted in gobs down the bathroom sink and cements the drain shut.
...soap was once for washing dishes. It is now a tool of discipline for children who call each other butt-heads.
...towels were for drying yourself off. They are currently being used as doll beds, picnic blankets, and Superman capes.
...the television was for my pleasure. It now plays a constant and irritating rotation of PBS Kids, Nickelodeon, and Disney channel.
...cotton balls were for removing nail polish. They are now used to make an igloo for a child who has to take something for "i" show and tell tomorrow.
Speaking of tomorrow, I'm still trying to convince Blogger to let me post my Halloween pics. Coming soon!
And also...Mrs. S finally had baby Zoe last night! Go send her some love and admire her lovely new daughter!

Good grief B, you have 1000's of toys. Play w/ those...Nah Birdie is more fun. The thrill factor of breaking mommies birdie.
So true sister, so true.
Ha, at least you still have tupperware! I, apparently, have some sort of tupperware elf living in my house. He will have to move soon though, cuz wer are almost out.
Ahh, toothpaste, yes, oddly enough, when a 6 year old tries to get the toothpaste out - it shoots out, but when I do it, it comes out normal and slow. Who knew.
