Me:: Good morning, guys. What are you doing out here?
Fionan:: Good morning. We wanted to see what you were doing out here.
Aisling:: Yeah, it was really noisy.
Me:: Sorry guys, didn't mean to wake you. I was just getting ready to paint this wall.
Fionan:: Ah, I see. Well we'll leave you be so we don't disturb you.
Aisling::......
Aisling:: Can I help?
Fionan:: Aisling, child, I don't think that's a good idea.
Aisling:: Aw, please [daddy]?
Me:: I don't mind, Fionan. She can help if she wants.
Fionan;; *sigh* Fine. But I'm holding you responsible if she gets the least bit of paint on her.
Me:: Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on her.
Aisling:: So what can I do? Do I get to use this?
Me:: Sure, but we have to get everything ready first.
Aisling:: Okay! What do we do?
Me:: Well, I already have the wall cleaned and taped off, so all that's left is the paint and brushes.
Me: Here we go.
Aisling:: Ooo, pretty!
Me:: Don't touch. If you get any on you it'll never come off.
Aisling:: Okay, now what?
Me:: Now we pour the paint into the roller pan and prep the roller.
Aisling:: And then what?
Me:: Now we paint. Be careful or your dad will kill me.
Aisling:: Will do.
Aisling:: This is a lot harder than I thought. How long will this take?
Me:: Probably all day. You're doing great, though.
Aisling:: ALL DAY!?!
Me:: Yeah. This is just the first coat, we'll have to let it dry and then do it at least one more time.
Aisling:: I...I think I'm done helping.
