When Mommy Refuses to Buy Flip Flops…

If you are a mean mom {like me} and refuse to buy your daughter another pair of flip flops, she might take matters into her own hands…with a Sharpie.

  5. I'm a mean mom too :-)
    And if my kiddos did that to their feet, I'd probably grab the camera to document it as well! Very creative little stinker!

  6. Those are nicely done.

    At last week's swim meet saw one of the older swimmers with Sharpie flip-flops, hmmm ... maybe where she got the idea. Those teenagers are such a bad influence;)

  8. Too funny! In the farther away picture, I thought she had just taken the straps from a pair of flip flops and had those tucked around. She did a great job!

  10. The question that's pressing my mind is did she go out of the house to a store with her "flip-flops" on and did you notice??

  11. That is hilarious! So are you going to tell us...why she can't buy another pair of flip flops? In our house it could be: The dog chewed them because you left them out all night AGAIN, you left them at a friends house and THEIR dog ate them, or you lost one of them, thus being short a WHOLE pair....

    can't wait to hear what other excuses they will come up with! :)

    These are too cute and so creative. I mean seriously, you can customize them to go with anything.

  14. very crafty and cute but: be careful:
    They are considered non-toxic for “normal uses,” meaning writing on posters, soccer balls, and such. However, they are not meant for use on skin or fingernails. It might take over an ounce (about 29 milliliters) of ink from a Sharpie to cause a lethal reaction, and if a Sharpie is used on the skin it generally won’t cause an immediate or obvious health effect. However, according to the manufacturer [5], various Sharpies contain: n-propanol, n-butanol, diacetone alcohol and cresol. The first of these, n-propanol, is commonly used in cosmetics. The other three, however, are industrial solvents, chemicals that should not be sniffed, eaten, or put on the skin. As solvents, they penetrate the skin and fingernails and can enter the bloodstream.
