This morning, I was working on my laptop in the family room. About 10 feet away, my three-year-old son was sitting at the kitchen table eating cheese. He loves cheese. He could eat it all day long.
What he likes even more than cheese is cheese with ketchup. Sometimes it's best not to ask questions....
So, he's sitting at the table eating his cheese, dipping each piece in the ketchup. No problem and all is right in his little world.
All of a sudden I smell something that reminds me of my youth. It reminded me of bowling alleys and greasy french fries drenched in ketchup. The greasy ketchup smell always reminds me of bowling alleys.
So, I look over and discover that my wonderful, beautiful, good-as-can-be three-year-old son has decided to once again make "Ketchup Art."
He makes me so proud. Of course I took a picture. We're saving pictures like this for his prom night. We figure if we show these pictures to his date, it will become a platonic prom date.
At least this time he created his artwork on a dish. Last time it was all over the kitchen table...and his shirt...and his pants...and his arms and hands...and his face. That was fun to clean up.

Hi Nick - Yes, we will gladly rent out the kids for trial runs. But, you have to take all three so that we can then take a vacation!
I have three sons. They've made "art" with worse then ketchup. Our middle child colored all the walls in his bedroom within a week of moving into our newly-built house. Food often gets thrown at our kitchen walls - we call the stains "food art." And, a couple of times, we've had "wall art" of a material that I won't mention here...
Still want to rent them out? Your house...and your life will never be the same. It will be better, even if you spend most of your time chasing them around and cleaning up after them.
You sound like a very fortunate man! I hope you shop at Costco for bulk-size ketchup. Best wishes!
Don... I can prove my my point. Went to BJ's this morning and off to an open house this afternoon. Just got home and here is a shot of the kitchen table. Out of the brand new 10 pack they left me one to go with my coffee. Maybe they are looking out for my health and saving me from eating all this junk...
