Learn from my mistakes
If you should find yourself in this situation, don't ever NEVER write words in paint for your 4-year-old to sound out as you're edging the ceilings and door frames. It may seem like a good idea. It may keep her entertained for long periods of time. You may even congratulate yourself on approaching the reading thing in an unorthodox manner. However...

I also learned that mistake when we painted my room as a teenager. My brother wrote not nice words to me and they showed up in the light.
