For the love of tape

May 16, 2011 by Shannon

Tape is such a useful product. It closes things, attaches things, and even helps you make a straight line while painting.

It is also addictive.

When Santa gave Kellan regular old transparent tape as part of his art supply kit at Christmas, he created a monster. This kid adores the stuff. Masking tape, double-sided tape…you name it. He tapes things on his walls, tapes together bits of paper, and even constructs elaborate taped costumes for himself. I promise you that the photo at left was not my attempt to tape his mouth shut (although at the rate Kellan talks sometimes, I admit that doing so has crossed my mind once or twice), but was his version of a triceratops costume. Yes, the three-horned dinosaur. Why the tape connects his nose to his forehead, I’m not sure.

All I know is, I can never find my tape when I need it. And wish Santa would have bought us some stock in Scotch Tape while he was at it.
