Further proof that I fail at stay-at-home-momhood

The munchkin's last day of school was on Wednesday and, like a good mom, I went on the school field trip with him to the national park.

On the way home from said field trip, I informed him that his summer wasn't going to be just sleeping late and playing PS2 - I told him that we were going to educational stuff, too.

Yesterday started off well enough - we went to a local beach to take pictures and avoid dead jellyfish and collect sea beans.

Today, though, when we went to the grocery store, we were talking about hair and how he used to put temporary red gel in his hair and how fun that was - so I asked him if he wanted to bleach his hair white.

Please to be witnessing

before

and

after

So - to recap - yesterday, we went out to the Gulf of Mexico and studied the coastline, discussing the types of birds that we saw and the origin of various sea beans and coconuts that we were collecting - today, I turned my kid into Eminem.

Who wants to put money on him having either a tattoo or a mail-order bride by the end of next week?
