Those were the words I heard this morning during the morning routine (making the sink sparkle, folding laundry, cleaning out the fridge). First thought – Rob left the sharps basket out, and she grabbed the razor, but if she’d cut herself, I would have known, maybe she grabbed one that didn’t have a blade in it? I thought she was still downstairs with me and I ran all around, but no Iz. Again, “MOM! I’M SHAAAAVING”. I looked up the stairs and this is what I saw smiling down at me:
Somehow, she’d gotten a Sharpie from somewhere, and ran upstairs and sat in front of her mirror. She probably spent about 15 minutes or so covering her ENTIRE body with black sharpie. When I came upstairs, she sat in front of her mirror and tried to “shave” some more.
Does anybody know how to remove Sharpie from the body?
try rubbing alcohol. that is how i get it off my hands. might not feel too good though :X
Oh my! She was quite thorough, wasn’t she! At about the same age my daughter came up behind me and made a growling noise–she’d colored her face with brown marker and was a werewolf…
Unfortunately the sharpie stains the skin because it’s permanent. You can try using some lotion–I’ve had a bit of luck with that, but it won’t remove it completely. I’ve heard of using toothpaste to get rid of the moustache koolaid can leave, but if her skin is delicate the mintiness might be a bit irritating. She may have a four-o-clock shadow for a few days.
love for the sharpies…..mom and daughter!!!!! too funny!!
Oh no!
I’ll second the lotion and (sadly) waiting a few day suggestion, which is how my mum handled similar misdemeanors at our house…
I followed it up by moving on to hairdressing, and cutting my fringe halfway round my head.
oh lordy! one day you will look back and laugh!one for the 21st?!?!?baby oil gets tempory tatoos off, worth a try and gentle….good luck
