My Mum, when I was very small had left me at the table with 2 small bottles of Airfix model paints (I honestly cant remeber the rest of the reason why I was left on my own for a short while or what we were actully doing) when she returned the bottles were empty, beginning to panic she checked me 1st for signs of it on me, and then to see where I had spilt it.....
Not finding the paint in any of the obvious places she then became to investigate. It seems I had gone under the table and had carefully been drawing/painting pretty patterns and stripes on the walls with the 2 airfix model paints.
A few years later I was actully told that I thought I was trying to help Mummy with the decorating, she had just spent over a week, doing her 1st ever decoroting job of stripping and rehanging all new wallpaper and doing the gloss work. Unfortuneatly it was not wall paper that could just be painted over.
I then realised why my Mother allways used painable wall paper all the thme.
Yes sadly, I was all because of liccle ol me.
