Mexican Fingerpainting (A Story with Pictures)

Once upon a time there lived a small, lovely boy with big blue eyes named Ryan.


One night his mother fixed Mexican food. For dinner they had Mexican chicken, refried beans, and salsa strips. To Ryan's delight he was given some refried beans, and he loved them so much.


He ate and he ate until he became full. Perhaps he became bored, but that wasn't the end of his Mexican dinner fun. You see, refried beans can make for great art, so Ryan began his masterpiece.


He painted the top, and he painted the bottom. He even painted the back of his pretty white chair.



Time did pass, and lo and behold, the masterpiece was finished with his greasy fingers and toes.



However, a time must come when the artist's mess must be cleaned, and there's no better place to clean beans off of a small boy named Ryan except for..you guessed it... the kitchen sink.



I know...I know...I'll keep my day job ;)

Ryan is so very cute! I love refried beans, too, but they look pretty icky all smeared about! They also dry on like cement! Were you able to get the chair clean soon enough for that not to happen?
