Girl with the Zebra Tattoo

When my husband woke little girl up from her nap the other day, he came downstairs and said to me “Mother, did you know someone had a sharpie to play with while she was napping?”. Well no I didn’t, that would have been just genius on my part. I thought it was a great idea to stick her in our room to nap because it’s been pretty hot out and we’ve got a ceiling fan. Meanwhile one of our family members had gone to Costco and as there were just too many sharpies in that costco sized pack, we ended up with a bunch of them, A WHOLE BUNCH. Some how they then migrated all over the house. I should have known better what the outcome of a bunch of unsupervised permanent markers would be. Although as parents, I too have to learn the hard way. Someone now looks like a zebra. At least I know I’ll be getting the “I’ve been there” looks from other parents at the grocery store, they’ll understand.

When she came out to show me what she had done, I laughed, and laughed and I probably shouldn’t have laughed so much. I then stopped laughing when my husband told me she had coloured on our sheets and bed frame. Thankfully I was able to get it off of the bed frame, God bless the internet. Did you know if your ever in my shoes, a little hand sanitizer takes it off of furniture? The same can not be said for her skin. She didn’t appreciate me trying either.

Oh well, I’m sure it will wear off of her some day. At least it’s off my furniture.
