Colouring books for adults are all the rage nowadays. My Maid of All Work, Carmen, has taken up the trend. Is she regressing back to her childhood I wonder? It is a worry. She's sat on the couch as I type, merrily scratching away with her coloured pencils, her tongue is lolling out, she looks like a simpleton.
Colouring-in pretty pictures isn't going to get the washing-up done or the beds made, is it?
If Carmen is doing them on "company time" (so to speak), then if would seem reasonable that you're entitled to a cut of the profits when she sells them!
ReplyDeleteI don't understand why beating your servants has seemed to become so outmoded, especially when it's so obviously deserved.
ReplyDeleteDid you know there's now a "sweary" version(not sold at supermarket checkouts!)?
ReplyDeleteThat's more like it and fair play to Carmen I say. You could market these as her manager naturally, and get a few quid. I don't know if The Book People would be up for it, but Hobycraft would take a pile.xx
ReplyDeleteAck. It'll pass. The next big trend is dot to dot drawing with a colour by numbers option. Hopefully Carmen will br right as rain and ironing your knickers very soon.

Might i suggest you proffer her with some fet tipped pens, so as she can get back to the real work to be done much quicker...
ReplyDeleteWhen she's not diddling, she's doodling.
