Going Undercover

Perhaps in an attempt to hide from the law for her previous crimes, Stephanie decided to paint herself in toothpaste. Discovery was made in the typical manner:
  1. I heard the distinct sound of nothing. Always a bad sign.
  2. I called to her. No answer. Almost always a bad sign.
  3. I looked for clues as to her whereabouts, things like "open bathroom door", "missing items", "scattered toothbrushes and other bathroom supplies".
  4. I followed the trail to her room and found more criminal activity in progress.

Exhibit A: Luckily, I caught her (blue-handed) in time to prevent any permanent damage, aside from the Winnie-the-Pooh book that now smells forever minty-fresh. This occurrence followed closely on the tail of a fluoride-drinking incident that same day. Maybe I should have seen it coming, but children never cease to surprise and amaze me with their curiosity and ingenuity. Oh well, I can think of worse fingerpaint...
