Conspiring?

When we were kids my older sister and older cousin Veronica had this great game called "Run from Jan" The name of the game is pretty self explanatory as to how the "game" worked.
So, I couldn't help but wonder a couple weeks ago if something similar was going down at my house with Gabi and Addy and Gretchen. Addy was over to play and they asked if they could play face painting, I said sure, naively thinking of little things on the cheeks. NOPE.
A few minutes later Gretchen comes walking up to me looking like this:






I don't think she had any idea what she looked like. I couldn't help but wonder if she consented to the full markering of the face or if it was something plotted out by the older two.....hmmmmmmm

Conversation

This is the conversation that went on the other day at our house:

Me: Gretchen, go get dressed

Gretchen: Can I wear a skirt and shirt?

Me: Sure

a few minutes pass, she returns, in just her underwear

Gretchen: Why can't I wear a dress? (insert whiny voice)

Me: You can, you asked if you could wear a skirt and shirt, so I said you could, I never said you couldnt wear a dress, go ahead.

a few more minutes pass, she shows up wearing....a skirt and a shirt. She baffles me.
