When I've babysat my dh's three year old niece, I've put nail varnish on her nails(as well as my dd1), they both loved it, and it kept them occupied for at least 10 minutes.

why what? why is it weird for a 58 yr old man to put nail varnish on a 3 yr old girl?

I can't see what the big deal here is. Maybe their grandad thought it might be FUN?!

well ok some do, obviously, but mine don't and I had assumed when I asked who had put it on them that the answer would be their cousin, which I would have understood - but grandad? That's the weird bit
