What happened?

While the boys are in the bathtub in our bathroom, I remove my make-up at the vanity next to them. I see they're ready to get out so I grab their towels to dry them up.

R:  You look different, Mommy.
Me:  Because I took off my make-up?
R:  Yeah, you look better with the make-up.
Me: {laughs} You should never say that to a girl, ok? And besides, make-up is for fun.  It hides true beauty.
R:  Then why do girls wear it?
Me:  That's a good question.  It's like a necklace, I guess, something that you can wear but you don't need to.
P:  Putting on make-up is fun??!  It doesn't look fun to me!

Oh, boys.

Windex

You must have seen My Big Fat Greek Wedding to get this one.  My wonderful dad did a Toula's dad thing, who thought Windex was the cure for all ailments - from zits to psoriasis to poison ivy.  Apparently, Windex can be used for household purposes too.  B and I had an ant problem coming from our backyard.  They were going through our backdoor and even making holes in our window sills to get in.

Me:  [handing Dad damp paper towels]  Dad, what do you use at home for this problem?  You used ant killer stuff and poured it all over their nests, right?

Dad:  Huh?  Oh, not anymore - that only works temporarily.  [continues to clean up the ants inside the house along the doorstep]

Me:  [watching Dad clean up dead ants and pointing to more coming in]  Dad, you're never gonna get all of them.  So...what do you use then?

Dad:  Oh, easy.  Windex.  It works wonders.  I don't think they came back for awhile. 

Me:  [laugh at the thought of it and as I think about My Big Fat Greek Wedding]  So that's temporary too then.

Dad:  What's so funny?  [smiles]  Yeah, but it lasts longer! 

Me:  We're out of Windex though.

Dad:  Oh, then I guess use your ant spray for now.

Me:  [shakes head]  Why couldn't we use that in first place?

Dad:  Because Windex is better! 

Needless to say, the ants eventually went away, but not with Windex.  Maybe we should give it a shot come this summer, when they come crawling back, no pun intended.
