Ok so really funny story! I was at my sisters house over the weekend. While there my nephews decided to do some kind of art work that required colored pictures they cut out of a book, bamboo skewers and elmers glue. When my nephew Noa asked his father for the glue his dad told him he would be responsible if they made a mess with the glue and that he’d be in big trouble regardless of who made the mess. Noa took the responsibility and went into the room with my other nephew Iuli and my neices Tui and Lia. About 30 minutes later they came out and said, “Aunty Berta, come look at our creation!” They were so excited! When I went into Noa’s bedroom my mouth dropped to the floor. You see…kids see things differently then we do. What they thought was a beautiful creation was just a mess to any adult. What they had done was cut pictures out and PASTED them to the walls. I didn’t want to hurt their feelings so I told them it was beautiful. However, I did have to tell their Dad before the glue dried up and ruined the wall. When Mani, Noa’s dad, talked to Noa about the glue Noa said, “but dad I told you I wouldn’t make a mess.” heehee. Even as he was getting in trouble he still didn’t understand why it was such a big deal. He didn’t drop any glue on the floor. He made his room nice and colorful! lol! Anyhow, by the time I got my phone out to take a pic the kids were already taking the pictures down. But I did manage to get a few pics of their “creation”.
