Nothing silly about it.

Okay.  Marissa has (had?) this giant sized egg filled with silly putty.  She was playing with it in the papa-san chair the other day, la la la, whatever.  Well, a couple of days ago I was all caught up on the laundry (I KNOW!  Word to your mother.) so I grabbed the blanket that was sitting in the papa-san chair so I could wash it (yes, I was so bored I was inventing laundry.  I rock.).

The blanket was, like, glued to the chair.  I yanked them apart really hard, with my superhuman strength, and lo and behold!  That silly putty that Marissa had played with had fallen between the blanket and the chair, and acted as an adhesive, gluing the blanket to the chair.  And this crap is like bubblegum from HELL!  All my fond childhood memories of silly putty flew right out the window as I cursed the silly putty manufacturer and attempted (in vain, I might add) to pull that yellow shit off of my cushion.  Two days later it's still there.  I lost my battle.  So I flipped the damn cushion over, and I'm going to pretend that there isn't a big ass yellow splotch of half-picked off silly putty on the other side.  Yes, I am.

You're a special kind of silly.

And hey, I have fabric for you that will rock your freaking socks off. Will send off shortly.

Holy shit, you too?! My son got that shit in his hair the other day (peanut butter works to take it out btw) but he also got it on his pillow case. I tried washing it but immediately realized it was a goner and tossed it. Thank goodness it was only his head and a pillowcase! I would've had to kick his ass if it was furniture, LMAO!

that SUCKS! i'm with 'ya on the "let's just ignore it's there" routine. thank God you could just flip the cushion over to make the denial SO much easier

[Mama C-ta]

That's why there are 2 sides to cushions anyway!

I will trade you one Troll baby for one cushion. You may sit on him. He deserves it. Especially after today.

See if Goo Gone will work on the Silly Putty. I've had good luck with it in the past. Having three boys we tend to use a ton of that stuff.

Good plan, flip it over, that is what I would do.BTW, can you post a picture or two of Charlie in the sling at her current age. I am traveling with both kids on tuesday and want an idea of how to best put Owen in the sling. I know the standard - whole body in there from one end to the other. I there a better, more comfortable way?Thanks

[Mrs. Flinger]

Thanks for the warning. No silly putty at our house because I am certain, Mr. Flinger would do this, too. (And I do not have the superhuman strength OR the wherewithall to be caught up on laundry)

[Daph]

Marita, yes! I will post some pics in a bit so you can see how I wear her... not the standard "lying down" position, but I wear her in the tummy-to-tummy position. :D
