wmw999 2,589 #2 January 11, 2008 Billy, you need to teach her better. It's SFW!Wendy W. There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mamajumps 0 #3 January 11, 2008 Sheesh thats minor! When all of mine were 5 and under, they would gang up.. I had to repaint and entire room once! The Mr. Clean Magic Eraser will probably work better on that and you wont risk damaging the paint. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

riddler 0 #8 January 11, 2008 My little girl draws stuff exactly like that on her magnetic drawing board. Every time I ask her what she just drew, she says it's a flower My sister-in-law gave us these special markers by crayola that have invisible ink that only shows up on the accompanying drawing pad. Still, it's only a matter of time before the permanent marker ends up on the un-erasable surface Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BillyVance 35 #12 January 12, 2008 We have a flexible drawing pad with a water-filled marker that she can use to draw on. Completely harmless and the water dries up after a few minutes. If only she would stick to that pad!

JustChuteMeNow 0 #13 January 12, 2008 I think all my kids did that but now we have tasers. So..........Tell her NO and then shoot her with the taser.

slotperfect 7 #14 January 12, 2008 I grew up in a very small town (742 people). One of our more wealthy residents owned a yellow 1966 Jaguar E Type convertible. He had a natural siding "modern" house built, and hired me when I was 17 to paint it with lightly tinted stain. Because he allowed the siding to "weather" to the right color, and that obviously happened on the "weather side" of the house first, it took me several months to get the job done waiting on the house to reach the right base color on its own. The cans of stain and brushes were kept in the garage only a few feet away from the Jag. I was very careful around the car, and was sure to seal the lid on the cans with a hammer each time I used them. He called me one Friday and asked me to come out to do a rather difficult side of the house that Saturday (high gable with an elevated deck below). I had an away soccer game and was unavailable, so he worked on that side himself. He was not quite as careful with the can lids. They had a 3 year old named Tad. Tad wanted to paint like his Daddy, so he snuck into the garage, worked the lid off a can of stain, and had painted about half the car before Dad found him.

galvar2439 0 #17 January 12, 2008 When i built my house, I had a big area in the basement for the kids to play. I did not paint the wall and told them it was thier canvas to do what ever they wanted, they sure did. I still have some small sections of it.So i just broke up with this woman who wasn't even my girlfriend! Hellfish #782, POPS #10664 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
