Things Everybody Else Knew About Painting That I Just Learned Today

1. It's not enough to just wear an apron. You must also change into grubby clothes.

2. Between me and the can of spray paint, the paint is smarter.

3. Spray paint flies in all directions. Well, I knew that, which is why I was prepared with a newspaper sheet to place behind what I was painting and catch blowback. But in all that, I somehow forget that paint's favorite direction to fly is down. I now have drips on my patio.

4. Spray paint has a mind of its own. It's not thick like normal paint. It doesn't cover dark green paint very well, and if you add more paint it just runs in rivulets. Not pretty.

5. Ha ha it's fun!
