And what a way to enjoy it!!!!

I got home from work today and my favorite little artist had been at it with a marker on the side of the my 61 Galaxie. Fortunately for all involved it was washable.

And if it wasn't washable he'd be in hock for the damage until well past college.

My cousin's little girl (age 2) took a red Sharpie to the wall all the way down the stairs from the second floor, decorated their microsuede couch (and cushions), and then gave the dog a new "tattoo".

She wasn't alone in her redecorating, though. Big brother's name (age 5) was written on the wall, too. As she didn't know how to write, much less spell brother's name.... you can guess who helped.

As a result, all Sharpies are locked up tight in their house. Washable is all we have in our house for this very reason.

(Maybe you have a future pinstriper on your hands?? )

Poor pooch.
My second son owes his life to Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. It will get Sharpie off darn near anything. Maybe not a dog, but it worked a miracle on the furniture. That episode is pretty much why washable markers are all they have at their disposal these days.

Shortly after this episode, Tessy-the-dog ended up biting the little girl on the face (not a shocker to me), and was re-homed. That family really is better off with no pets for the time being. There are 3 kids 6-and-under, and cousin's a full-time nursing student. Her hands are full enough without pet shenanigans.

Lily decorated our apple wood dining table last week. Magic eraser didn't get all of the ink off - some went into the grain of the wood, so we'll have a blue spot on the table for a very, very, very long time.

Well, my hopes are dashed. I was thinking that because our daughter hadn't yet gone "rouge" the few times she had an instrument of destruction, that maybe she never would. But I see it is an older kid thing.

 

[Babydoll]

I'd say you're not truly safe until she's out of the house for college.

And please, please, please lock up your scissors. Lily's given herself 3 haircuts. Even scissors locked up didn't stop her, but it did delay her so I caught her before she hacked it all off. As it was, she had a sizeable patch behind her left ear that went from shoulder length to 1/2" long.

 

[jamespowers]

Geez, I am glad my sons have no such inclinations. Then again, they know they would end up bound and gaged every time they came into the house if that were the case.

I remember when my oldest gave his little brother a 'haircut'.
All that could be done with it was give him a buzz cut, and even then it still had gaps in it. Big brother thought it was hilarious until it was his turn to get in the chair and get one too, just on g.p. F
ortunately that has been the only incident of that.

My precious daughter once wrote her name in crayon on the kitchen cabinet. A short while afterward her brother's name appeared on the bathroom door, only it wasn't his handwriting. When pressed, she confessed, and her excuse was that she didn't want to be the only one who got in trouble.

I wrote on the living room wall in pink sparkle nail polish... complete with my signature backwards "e". Next oldest kid was my 10 year old brother, so I was totally busted. I still remember mom saying "wait for your father to get home".

Last year, after going to see 'The Book of Life' my six year old daughter used a marker (not a washable one, either) to draw her interpretation of a bullfighter, complete with bull, on her little brother's face. He thought it was cool. Mom, not so much. I thought it was hilarious.

 

[Babydoll]

I'm with mom. Man, I'm glad I only have Lily. I can't imagine the shenanigans in your house!!

Years ago, I came home one time to find my husband taking a nap and my two stepsons covered in marker from head to foot. They'd had a "marker war." :eusa_doh:
I was obviously the loser in that war since I had to bathe them!

At least they covered themselves, not the walls and/or furniture.

True. My daughter did that years later, though.
