Jenny's Masterpiece

I was walking upstairs to take a bath a little while ago, and I noticed that Jenny had hung High School Musical posters all along the wall on the way up the stairs. I stopped for a moment to yell back to Lee to ask if he had noticed what she'd done. While I was waiting for him to come look, I noticed that one poster had fallen, and under it was what appeared to be purple nail polish. Of course, I yelled for Jenny at this point. I said, "Jenny, did you use nail polish to hang these posters?" She just looked at me and tried to come up with something. Then she said, "Actually it's not nail polish; it's eye makeup." I decided my best course of action would be to head up to the bath instead of yelling at her further.

She came to see me in the bath to explain what had happened. It went something like this.

"I wanted to work on hanging my posters, and I thought you and daddy seemed busy and I didn't want to bother you. So I used my makeup to make them stay and I thought they would stay up longer so you couldn't see. Or they would fall and I would have a chance to scrub the walls before you saw it."

I told her she had to clean it up and could not actually ever do that again. She told me she had already used soap and water to clean it up. I guess, on the bright side, it was probably easier to wipe off the purple eye makeup than nail polish!
