| Rule #2, people. |
She explained she'd done this with the dry erase marker from my grocery list whiteboard.
I called her back over so I could take this picture. She tearfully begged me to not show the picture to Daddy, because she didn't want to get in trouble. I promised not to show him (which I didn't). I was pretty sure he'd see it soon enough.
And then I promptly forgot about it.
Until bath time tonight, which Hubby was supervising.
I remembered when I heard him shout.
The conversation went something like this:
Hubby: What is that?
Small Fry: A person.
Hubby: How'd it get there?
Small: Marker.
Hubby: From where?
Small: Downstairs.
That's about when he gave up and decided that he should follow Rule #2 and just finish her bath.
Now then, try that with two urchins on the the night before they start their new primary (elementary) school.....

Hah! Oh, I can only imagine. I'm told rubbing alcohol works well at removing permanent marker, although I suppose that's a bit too late for your kids. :)
DeleteMy daughter 'decorated' my kitchen wall in a rental house with a permanent red magic marker. I ended up just cutting the drywall out and replacing it.
ReplyDeleteLarge and Medium once crayoned all over the wall of our rental house. They got to scrub that off. I have pictures. :D
