Top Five Reasons to NOT take your kids with you to select paint.

5. Your kids will kick and scream when they don't get to select a lovely shade of "Barney Purple" as the new living room color.

4. Your kids will pick up "stir sticks" and pretend to be Jedi Masters

3. Your kids will climb the stacks of paint cans - as if playing King of the Hill - Which I've learned is "banned" at most playgrounds.

2. Your kids will lie on the floor and "scoot along" as if they are dusting the concrete.

and finally,

the number one reason to leave your kids at home or with a relative..... Because it's 8:00 a.m. on a Saturday, and I'm at the store picking out my flipping paint!!! :-P
