Maybe He Can't Read

At the park a few days ago, we noticed there was something off about the Gremlin. It took us a while to place it as he was running, screaming, pretending to be a fire truck as usual. Finally, we realized that whenever he tripped or played with something near his head, it just stayed there - even after he wasn't holding it any more.

Upon further inspection, we determined the Gremlin had several leaves, a bug, wood chips, and 13 cents in assorted change stuck to his face, hair, hands, and legs. While I may have been slightly excited by the prospect of the Gremlin finally bringing me money for a change, the Mother of the Gremlin stopped me from getting the glue out and doing a 'touch up' on our little darling.

After cleaning him off, we guessed that the Gremlin was playing around in the back yard and had gotten sap all over him.

The next day, we asked the Gremlin to get ready to go to the park, and it was only accidentally that we walked in on him.

Instead of using the sunscreen, the Gremlin had mistakenly picked up a glue stick, and was thoroughly applying it to his forehead, cheeks, arms, legs, and neck.

  1. or maybe he KNOWS it's a glue stick, and figured that this is a much easier way to acquire new treasures with very little effort, and no need to worry about available storage space in his pockets, yes?
    i think he knows.

  2. I don't know - it definitely surprised us.

    It did give him this pretty cool cow-lick type flip with his hair, though.

  4. It could have been an experiment, or maybe he just wasn't paying attention, but it was highly entertaining to see him gluing his face.
