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.
Hee hee, gave me a much needed giggle. Sorry mom.
I hope you don’t find it on any furniture or carpet. I bet he’s cute with his pink doodled legs.
I think Lil Duck is just trying to express his creative genius, and he is looking for interesting media to play with. Don’t stifle this boy’s creativity, Mama Duck! ; )
Keep Lil’ Duck out of the sun, too. The skin doesn’t “tan” through permanent marker! He could end up with those squiggles for a lot longer then it takes the marker to wear off!
You could skip the costume this year and let the little duck color himself for Halloween.
Do you have any make-up remover or Noxema (spelling?) If so try those. My sister was in a play and used stage makeup and UGH what a PITA to remove but we got it off with the Noxema.
And there are no pictures of the grand color scheme?!
Sounds like he’s feeling better. Your Starbucks snippet made me laugh. Our Bean goes to Starbucks (with Grannie). Every. Single. Day. She always has a little cup of whipped cream. She draws pictures and they put them up on the wall. She knows them all by name and they certainly know her. Too funny.
And I love the chocolate picture. Too cute!
Oh, how funny! You should post pictures!
You could always just get a real tatoo to cover it up. Think how cool he’ll be in grade school. Or you could get a duck tatoo. It would be good branding for the website and guarantee that he won’t be a cool kid that gets in tons of trouble in high school.
Pictures please.
