Four year old boys should not be allowed access to glitter

For that amount of coverage, you’ll need a jar about the size of a lipstick. Two ounces would make the whole ZIP code fabulous.

These are Jack Russell Terriers. They breed the dogs, so the number of dogs and pups varies. I’m counting on the JRTs to help spread the fabulosity.

Oh, with JRTs, three ounces should cover a smallish state!

(I still giggle at the image of Deputy Sparkles and his Fabulous K9 Mojo, though. I also think that the glitter in the air vent joke would be fun with a patrol car…)

When I worked at the PD it was flour in an envelope on the visor but glitter would have been FABulous.

bwwwwaaaaahhhhhh. i have a new cunning plan!

Edward, is that you?

One year, our son came home from school with glitter all over his hands and hair. He’d been decorating a Christmas tree ornament. I asked if he got any glitter on the ornament, or was it all on him.

(Pause) “Some got on the ornament.”

Could be worse…

The glitter could have cross-bred with IMR Trail Boss smokeless propellant (gunpowder), trail boss powder looks like tiny, flat gray Cheerios, and the slightest breeze dissipates it, I accidentally spilled about 14 grains of it on my reloading bench, I thought I cleaned it all up, but I’m finding those tiny gray Cheerios everywhere, three rooms away…

At least a Trail Boss/Glitter hybrid would be easy to clean up, just use open flame and it’d burn itself up…

My mom bought my four year old niece some of that Crayola Color Wonder paper with glitter in it for Christmas.

Mess-free, my ass. I bet Mom wouldn’t have bought it if she had read these product reviews. She’s still finding glitter everywhere. Niece wanted my boyfriend to help her color, he looked fabulous by the time they were done. :smiley:

As a father, I have a strong suspicion that NorthernPiper is already familiar with finding whatever-the-Canadia-version-of-Cheerios-is in every unexpected place in the house.

Cool. What part of him did she break?

:smiley:

Mostly his pride. His car took care of the rest! (Well, the sudden onset of puberty is taking the color right out of his hair… Does that count?)

I teach high school and I learned quickly to forbid my students from using glitter on any project for my class. Otherwise the girls would bring their trebuchets and mousetrap cars all blinged out in glitter. Often, it was obvious they had spent more time decorating the project than building it.

No glitter! Not even on posters!
“But Mr. Tangent! What if I use glitter glue?”
No. NO GLITTER!
“:(”
:slight_smile:

Am I supposed to be hearing this in the voice of Edna Mode? :wink:

And to reiterate how closely related Trail Boss propellant is to glitter, at least in motility and tenacity, I found some on my desk at work, about six flakes, they had stowed away inside my iPhone Otterbox case, between the plastic back cover and rubber skin…

My ex roomie Bruce was into line art tattoos. Once he fell asleep on the sofa after I had come home from hospital after an operation with a couple of different colored surgical markers [they wipe off with alcohol swabs just fine but you can shower and not wash it off easily] so of course we colored in his tattoos … :stuck_out_tongue:

I have fairly frequently let my goddaughters put temp hair dye in, nail polish on and surgical marker draw all over me in the past. For a while they were into the braiding stuff and did all sorts of practice braiding on my at the time waist length hair as well :smiley:

[the gentian violet is my favorite color]

I’d rather have glitter than gunpowder! :eek:

Yeah, but glitter’s not explosive* , how boring!
*technically, neither is smokeless propellant, black powder however is classed as a low explosive, glitter is just annoying
