Did you know that a toddler can actually suck the color out of a washable marker? In the mouth long enough, the tip of a red marker becomes white. It’s true. I witnessed it today.
I also learned today that in a relatively sterile looking environment, such as the Jiffy Lube, that small children can make incredible messes? They WILL dump water all over the chairs and suck color out of markers.
In case you were wondering, small children will also color their entire legs with marker in the car. One year olds intoxicated with washable ink will unravel all the toilet paper in the public restroom while you wash your hands.
I used to think it was difficult to take three children out in public. I now know that it is not the number of small people that accompany you, but the specific individuals that you bring along that make the difference in your ease of excursion. Two children in public can just as tricky as three if you take the right ones with you.
good to know about the marker. we frequently have markers in the mouth. i’ll have to take it out before the color is gone.
and I’ve learned to never go anywhere alone with children. ya.. i’m house bound but sane.
