Reason # 42 why my bosses are going to fire me one day...
*Reminder Note: I run a Daycare Room for School Age Children*
I got the job that I have now by way of the lady before me deciding not to come back after her holidays. There for there is a lot of crap in the room that I did not put there nor do I have access to the person that did. So. Even though I've cleaned out a LOT of shit there is still some stuff that I have no idea why it's there or what purpose it could have.
Thus is the case with a bucket full of doll heads. Baby doll heads mostly. Some of them are the kind that you would knit a body for and somehow attach to in a make your own doll kind of way. Much like grandmothers around the world (mine included) would make for granddaughters. Alas I have no inclination or time to do this myself so the bucket of doll heads has been sitting a the top of a shelf for some time now.
All was well until the other day when I instructed my kids to make Halloween Decorations for the room. We made little ghosties out of kleenex and jack-o-lanterns out of orange construction paper.
Then one boy spotted the doll heads. "Can we use those?" He pointed.
"Uhhh..." I responded. I took them down and took them into the office. "My kids want to use these to make halloween decorations. I should warn you that it might get fairly gory. What do you say?"
My harassed bosses gave them half a glance and said sure.
Thus ensued the carnage. Oh the carnage. We now have on the dry rack about 15 different sized doll heads dripping with shiny, dark blood red nail polish pouring out their eyes and various wounds on their heads. They have fangs drawn on and scars thanks to permanent markers. Some of them have bloody Q-tips stabbing them through the temples.
All I did in the way of direction was say: "Don't get the permanent markers on your clothes." And "Use the nail polish outside so we all don't die of asphyxiation."
I'll post a picture the second I take one.
Right now I'm just trying to think of ways in which to avoid the really religious parents from seeing the blood bath.
