That is terrifying. But your nieces have a point: you do need a pedicure.
Lipstick on a pig comes to mind.
Ew.
so cute! i love how it looks like each nail is a different color.
Do you realize how awsome this is? Very soon they'll be going into that phase where they hate all adults, and you might *just might* stay "Cool Uncle5K" during this phase.
i hope those are your feet. otherwise your nieces have some fairly hair toes for 'preteens'. unless they're really gorillas?
That's your color, Michael. Don't change a thing.
@g: Pedicure? Like, when a stranger cuts your toenails? Because I actually have those little clipper dealies.
@gl.: They alternate between pink and purple.
@rebel: Beyond the fact that my nieces are the coolest ever, even if they do go into an adult-hating teenager phase, there is still a secret weapon in my arsenal that guarantees that they will remain especially fond of Uncle5000. I refer of course to money.
@margaret: Really? Because I always thought of myself as more of an "autumn."
Gross.
I just threw up in seven different ways. some physical, some metaphorical.
Woo-hoo! Painted Hobbit Feeties! Now it's time for third dinner.
