Stickers.
If you have young children or young grandchildren then you may know what I'm talking about.
Stickers.
Everywhere.
On everything.
Little kids' way of 'blinging' up normal everyday things so no one can deny you have young children or grandchildren around.
The signs are unmistakable. Sudden appearance of colour on things that didn't really have pops of colour before.
On what used to be a pristine white tower fan.
On an HP printer.
On and inside a laptop.
On a mobile phone case.
The stickers can appear at any time when you are not looking, and even, in the rare occasion, when you are.
The stickers are unmistakable: bright, in several shades of colour, more times than not can ruin your adult reputation with other adults who grin and comment on the stickers.
Removing them can lead to questions of "Why did you take my stickers off?", disappointment, and in a few rare cases tears and the re-appearance of more stickers. So tread lightly. I've learned to leave them there until a day they fall off or I can sneak them off, but they often are replaced by new stickers who bring all their friends to the sticker party so there is less chance of them being kidnapped and their bodies dumped in the trash.
They may clash with your decor and are prone to bring on chuckles from other adults. Men can also suffer from stickers.
Stickers can last years until the child(ren) is old enough to understand that not everything should be 'blinged' up. Oftentimes this will happen naturally as they age and want to appear cooler and more mature in front of their schoolmates.
Note: though some stickers are easy to remove, there can be those who would survive a nuclear bombing and any attempt to remove them could prove challenging. They are especially stubborn to remove from dressers, refrigerators and desks. Proceed with caution.
This has been a public announcement on living with stickers.
