Picture this….
Your kids are bouncing off the walls. They are outside, inside, hungry, thirsty, need a toy, need to rest and they are just running around like a herd of wild Indians.
We aren’t technically Indians but you get the picture right. I am not dummy, I know that research says the color of a babies room and the color of the children’s rooms and the daycare was painted with bright beautiful colors and the kids loved it.
So, moving on, there’s a commercial on late night TV here for some brand of paint. It starts out with 2 kids running inside their house, slamming the front door and headed up a large set of steps at warp speed.
The next thing you see is a woman painting a wall, a really not-so-pretty green wall. She looks at her husband and make some kind of statement about painting the entire house that color because of the the transformation in the children
Camera pans around and you see those same to children sitting individually in these little kids chairs and they are holding these some pretty big thick books and are supposedly reading.
Now, if I could get my kids to sit still and be calm when they read? That’s be a good deal. But, not my wild ones, they want to bring 30 books out at a time…I’m certain it is a plot against me.
So, if your kids are acting up, my all means, go paint the inside of your house kiwi-green. Yea, nasty eh?
