Family tradition

“I need a shower!” proclaimed Babess, late this morning.

“What?! Why?” we asked.

“Because I got drawing all over my hands.  And on my legs.  I was trying to do a tattoo.”

“Babess! You don’t draw on yourself, just on paper. Come on then, wash it off.” Sigh.

“I need one too,” said her big brother sheepishly.

“Argh! You know better than to draw on yourself, Fainjin! What were you thinking?”

He looked at me blankly, then said in feeble self-defence, “I didn’t.  Babess drew on me.”

Luckily it was washable pen, unlike the pens their father decorated himself with just before his first day at school!
