A Day At The Spa

Today the girls decided to pamper themselves with a day at the spa. They mixed 'herbs' of all kinds (leaves and grass - although I kept hearing "rosemary") in a plastic tub of water with some juice from an orange to soak their feet in. When C complained about the water being too cold, K decided to trek warm water out from the kitchen sink. After about a dozen trips, I mentioned she might want to use the teakettle which helped her finish filling the tubs quickly for both of her sisters.

When she came to ask me if she could cut up a cucumber for them, I hesitated a minute but decided to let her go ahead. When I walked outside to see what she'd been working on, this is what I saw.

 
K excitedly told me that she was going to start her own spa and start charging people. Then when someone asked her where she had made all of her money, she would say, "My spa!"
 
Even though she said she wouldn't charge people she knew to come to her spa, A offered to pay her a dollar for the experience. When the two of them rolled over and K kneeled between them and scratched their backs, A proclaimed it 'the best spa ever' and offered to pay her two dollars. (Made an even better spa experience because she got to eat the cucumbers when she was done - one of A's favorite veggies).
 
In the car, both A and K said they wanted to sit next to the best spa person ever, so all three climbed in the back seat. And then it went nutty.
 
C decided she was going to stay up all night and plan for the world opening of K's spa tomorrow. A got involved, and of course the two of them decided that it should actually be a pet wash instead of a spa for people. And soon the whole thing had deteriorated into an Ed Debevic's-style pet wash, where they would insult people and their pets when they came in. They practiced their insults in funny foreign accents and laughed hysterically.
 
K wasn't interested in any of that and decided to kick them both out of her spa plans. If she opens a spa in the future, I'll be sure to let you all know!
