going outside the lines

Has anyone noticed the new Target ad on TV? It shows some young kids painting big beautiful, loosely expressive paintings at easels - the kind of art room we all would dream of, and the teacher is saying "Express yourselves. Don't be afraid to go outside the lines..."

All very lovely, EXCEPT as teacher makes this statement, the image joyfully focuses on two adorable girls at easels, and one is merrily painting the other girl's entire arm green, from wrist to shoulder.

I'm very annoyed with Target. The "express yourselves... " message of the ad is nice, but COME ON. There should be boundaries of decorum even in the art classroom or everyone will just be tossing clay at the walls and smearing chalk on each other's faces. Not OK in my book. When we are painting in my room, I certainly encourage individuality and expressiveness, but I do NOT endorse allowing kids to merrily paint each other's body parts or clothing with no reprimand. Am I an old fuddy-duddy? What's your opinion?

And totally unrelated: cleaning out my school stuff in prep for tomorrow's start, I found a note to myself with a couple of book titles evidently found while reading blogs. I went to amazon.com to see if I could find these books and one doesn't seem to exist. So if you are the blogger who wrote about a book (?) called The Blazing Banyon Tree (or it could be spelled Banyon), can you please check the title and let me know what it is and possibly where to find it?

Thanks...........
