Otherwise titled “When Mommy doesn’t look closely at the markers that Lil’ Duck is using….”
I figured he had his own, WASHABLE, markers out there, he colored all over himself and I really didn’t worry about it, washed his hands and face, brushed his teeth, put him to bed, etc. Now this morning, I get up, put him in the shower with me, and it doesn’t come off. Not even a little bit. Well, the red faded to a BRIGHT pink…..
After further investigation, I find NOT his washable markers, but the very permanent cake decorating markers that he got out of a high cabinet, no idea exactly how…..
I think he’s going to be colorful for quite a while now.

Well, at least the teeth aren’t red!
Thats awesome! Im the awful mom who takes the pictures before she does anything else when they do stuff like that (Im flashing back to a lipstick incident with my four year old. He’s going to love me when this is displayed at his graduation!) When else can you really get away with being stained several different colors while everyone else thinks its cute?
So funny! Now it’s almost as if he were born decades ago…when there were no such thing as “washable markers!”
What did our mothers do? Scrub us, I guess!
What a funny story! (Marti thanks the Lord hers are byond that stage…oh wait, now I have to worry about tattoos and piercings, never mind LOL)
Thanks for sharing the laughter!
I posted my wedding picture, because tomorrow is our 25th anniversary!
Best wishes on removal! LOL
Wow. I’m so glad that the markers were at your house. My kids have already had too much fun with scissors and vaseline at our house. =)
That is a funny picture you’ve painted. It’s amazing how they can make you frustrated and laugh at the same time. It always seems to just take a genuine hug to break the mood.
i would like to see some photos too pretty please
