It Took Me 26 Years But I Finally Scribbled On My Parents' Wall {Or How To Make Your Parents Paint}

I scribbled on my parents' wall with a sharpie.

:)

My parents moved into their current house eleven years ago. They had painted other rooms in their house, but hadn't gotten to painting the kitchen.

And there was this half-wall with outdated, slightly ripped wallpaper in their kitchen.

For. Eleven. Years.

So last week while I was visiting, my mom had to leave for her book club and left Josh, my Aunt Becky (her sister), and me unattended. So with some peer pressure, I decided if I wrote on her wall with sharpie, my parents would finally take care of the issue.

I went with a "coupon" for a painting assistant. Me. (It was only fair.)

(This picture was taken after the wallpaper removal was underway. It wasn't quite this bad in the beginning.)

A few days after the scribbling incident, my parents found time to paint. :)

I helped, of course.

And we couldn't have gotten anything done without my lovely, canine assistant:

Scraping off wallpaper sucks.

Thankfully, my parents didn't get mad. I think they are happy that it finally got done.

My aunt says I should scribble on more walls.
