More stories about your brother, please! @ifeelbetterer
Let me tell you about the glitter in the guest room, then.
So we grew up in a like gothic mini-mansion in the middle of an inner city block because of odd historical reasons. So we had more rooms than we knew what to do with. We had this guest bedroom that we kept locked most of the time because when we didn’t keep it locked, a neighborhood cat got in there and it got infested with fleas. (My parents never fixed this problem, they just locked the door and the fleas...went away? Eventually?)
Anyway. So my sister had bought a tub of body glitter from the Renaissance Faire the week before (ah, yes, the early signs of a Medievalist Scholar, watch your kids!) and my brother had stolen it because he was basically a magpie for a while. This body glitter was not immersed in goo like your regular body glitter. Oh no, this was literally a potion-bottle filled with magically clingy glitter. It stuck to EVERYTHING it touched.
Yeah my brother decided to open all the windows of the guest room and dance in the breeze with the glitter. The whole room turned gold. Every piece of furniture remains gold to this day. Anything we could put through a washing machine is back to normal, but not, like, the ceiling. The ceiling is still gold.
My brother’s explanation was a kanyeshrug and, “it looked pretty when I danced” so.
