Funny things you hear in your line...

Yesterday, I had two long gigs, painted all day (if only every day was like that ) So, I am painting away and I hear a mom talking to her son...and she says..."you can't be a Shepherd as Two face"

What have you heard in your line?

That's funny! I can't think of anything funny I have heard. I will have to pay closer attention.

Completely off topic: I love, love, love your avatar face painting mom, can I please put it in my inspiration folder?

Boy-momma look at the pretty swirls I want them!
Mom- hun Thats for girls
Boy- if I don't get them ill yell!
Mom- ugh Okay!
In my head- Really?

@ tuli...yeah i hear boys wanting the most girly stuff and most of the time parents freak on them and make them change it. lol so strange. shock she let him get the swirls

I know me too! I mean I usually tell parents to let the kid choose, but swirls? How about tribal lines?

I love it when the girls want the scull or a zombie face...mom gets totally freaked becuse the girl wanted blood and guts. Oh well...

Lizzy, Copy away! Feel free to use it any way that helps your business! If you have an event coming up, I sold this mask 20 times over by calling it the "Snowflake Special" and I priced it a dollar less than my regular bling maks, but it was more than just a face painting, and it sold like crazy. I am so lucky when ever I can get my daughter to let me paint her...she wears it well!

Thanks!! I really love the colours and swirls and all!

I did a party where all the pre-teen boys wanted a unicorn on one eye and a butterfly on the other. They had formed a club of sorts, and were joking in line all about how they were going to be the "uni-butts".

That almost qualifies as a design all it's own.... offer the boys an angry "Uni-butt" and paint a butterfly with an angry looking unicorn for the butterfly head!!!!

LOL! Love the comments

Anything with "butt" in it will make a preteen boy chuckle.

Ot tag pearl blue and tag pearl white l!izzy. I have having a little love afair with tag pearls...

I painted a 25yr old guy as a puppy with tongue hanging out too! And he swaggered away saying " I'm gonna get some ruff tonight." I couldn't stop laughing, yes he was out drinking with his buddies & they all ended up coming & getting painted. I certainly had so many giggles that night.

This may not seem funny but I heard a grandma say to their grandchild, "oh you talk as much as your mother!"..oh dear!

hahaha at the 25 year old...I love when the adults espec the men get their faces painted...one guy got a pretty kitten full face,lol. he was def happy ;-)

at my last event a few days ago I heard something that made me giggle. I have a sign up that says if you misbehave you wont get painted by me. The little kid that read it leaned over and asked his mom "IF I misbehave, will she tell santa?!"

So it's not something that was verbally funny, but the child's expression was a riot!

This weekend, a mom brought over her 5 daughters (all between the ages of what looked like a wiggly 2 and and a mature 10). I get handed money for 4 masks. The older girls decide that they each want to be a full face butterfly, but with different color combos (a pink/orange, purple/lilac, a green/blue, and a teal/lilac). As I'm doing all of the 'big sisters' this little two year old's eyes are getting bigger and bigger and she is gesturing like crazy at the painted faces.

When the 5 year old gets down from my chair, the two year old tries to climb in. The oldest sister removes the little girl and says, 'you never hold still! no facepaint for you!' Mom reiterates with a similar line.

Smart toddler looks at me, points to her face and says 'puhweeze?'

Mom visibly caves and plops the two year old into the seat. Two year old sits properly in the chair and freezes. Mom requests butterfly cheek art and the two year old nods, and then holds still. I've NEVER seen a kid become that calm in the chair (she'd been bouncing up and down before). I finish a little cheek design and show her the mirror. She looks at her reflection, points to her sisters, and then leans the other side of her face towards me implying that she wanted a full face design too!

By this point, mom was astounded, the sibs were amazed, and I have never before painted on a two-year old that could sit that still before!

Puhweeze! So sweet.

Not in line, but a husband walked passed with his wife and 2 mates (about 40 y.o) and says "can you paint a smile on this one" pointing to the wife. She hits him on the arm with a killer look on her face, and the 2 mates go "Ooooooo".

Was quite funny.

Oh, that reminds me, once had a guy ask me if I could paint him as Brad Pitt...told him I would be rich if I could! Not only that, but I could have a new man everynight! teeeeehehehehe.

While doing a church function I heard a 4 year old boy who was 4 kids back (in line) repeat "Ooh I want a cupcake, Oooh I want a cup cake" (3 times)

By time he got to the chair I asked, "So what are you having today?" (Hoping he was just being silly and changed his mind)
Solomon: I want a cupcake
Mother: you ain't getting no *&^* cupcake
Me: How about a scorpion or black widow..
Solomon: OK..but I really wanted a cupcake. ..lol

I'll never forget this. I said to myself, either I make some pretty good cupcakes or Solomon was trying to tell us all something..lol

A teenage boy (approx 15-16) says he wants a big rainbow with a heart and glitters across his face. His uncle is steady saying, "You better not get that. You must not know what a rainbow means." As I'm painting, the uncle keeps harping on it the whole time. Don't you know who puts those rainbow stuff on. Somebody better tell this boy what a rainbow means. Then he starts asking people, Do anybody here know what it means. I decide to be a MC Hammer and think (Can't touch this). So I say "No" and so does everyone else. The uncle says: I can't believe no one has heard about it. The boy says nothing.

I'm kind of scared. Momma said her tattoo really hurt.
