Oozing With Intelligence

I am a smart woman.

If I was a man...this is what I would look like...

But, since I am not, here is what you get...

I was running today at the gym and reading my recent Parents magazine.

Yes, I run and read. It's a talent.

Anyhow, there was a tip about getting your kids to clean up their toys

and I decided to try it out tonight.

And guess what?

It worked!!

I told the boys that the pick-up fairy comes and checks the playroom every night. If there are toys out, she takes them away for awhile.

They were so curious about this pick-up fairy.

They asked me all sorts of questions while they cleaned up.

What does she look like?

Green teeth, yellow dress, yellow hair.

How does she get here?

A broom.

Where does she live?

In Toyland, of course,

considering she has all of the toys from the boys and girls who don't pick up each night.

So...we'll have to see how this works. But tonight, it worked like a charm.

And though I did not come up with this idea, I feel extra smart.

And with better hair than Albert Einstein.

Even better!
