Last month, we gave the “Mess of the Month” to a little girl who brushed her hair with powder and water. This month we’re giving it to a mess that didn’t need a scissor to clean it up. I’m thinking a little all-purpose cleaner did the trick.

Well, let’s be honest. A LOT of all-purpose cleaner.

I put the two biggest messes I found (see above) in head-to-head competition on the Mommy Shorts facebook page and the kid who thought his crib needed a smoother, more blemish free complexion got the most votes.

That means the make-up artist’s mom is taking home a $250 Target gift card and a whole mess of Seventh Generation cleaning products, just in case her son decides the bathroom floor could really use a fresh coat of mascara.

1) The kid who thought it would be fun to break all the eggs on the floor and then do a dance in chocolate syrup

2) The kids who poured out all the styrofoam packing material

3) The kids who redecorated their living room with a splash of cinnamon

4) The kid who coated his toys in diaper ointment

5) The kid who’s baby powder experiment didn’t work out as expected

6) The kid who covered her hands in blue ink so she could leave proper fingerprints on the wall

7) The kid who destroyed the entire pantry by pouring whole wheat flour on the floor and possibly overturning a piano

8) The kid who tried to feed the dog

9) The kid who loved shredded cheese so much, she tried to set it free

10) The kid who disappeared into a huge pile of toilet paper

11) The kid who covered the couch in peanut butter

12) The kid who thinks floor taste better with a little whip cream

13) The kid who didn’t understand that lipstick is really just meant for your lips

14) The kid who got just a tiny bit of dirt on her face

15) The kids who thought mom’s idea to use a cupcake tray for the paint was cute but a little too inside the box

16) jkThe kid who finally completed his transition to full-on purple minion

17) The kid who thought his snack would taste better off the floor

18) The kid who grew cocoa powder beard

19) The kids who took playing in their crib at nap time to a whole other level
