Ugggggghhh.

Yes, due to experiences like these, Sharpie is now a four letter word in my house. My three year old son and I had a few battles of our own [like this] last summer. I completely advocate Mr. Clean eraser sponges.

What ever made that sweet little soul choose red of all colors? Perhaps he was channeling his inner-designer? I give him a 10 for bold color choice. I cannot believe you actually got this out!

Oh my gosh seems to be the theme here and those are the words that came out of my mouth when I saw your pics. How you even pulled it together to take the pics. amazes me. Wishing you lots of calm and luck trying to get it out- I hope you are successful.

Oh my. I must have envisioned that this could happen. And so all permanent markers were stored in a cabinet high up near the wine glasses, while all the washable ones were at kid level. Ditto the superglue and the epoxy. Funny thing is, the kid is in college now but those Sharpies are still up by the wine glasses!

I think my head would have exploded. It almost did just looking at the photos! Can’t wait to hear all about your patent pending process in case the unthinkable every happens here… (I don’t have kids so it’s unlikely, thank goodness. I don’t think I’m capable of that easy going).

Wow. When I first glanced at it I thought “where did she find such an awesome modern couch with a unique design?” I kid you not. Then I realized….
Maybe you could get some red throw pillows and accents and work it into the room for now

Side question: I’ve been eyeing that very sofa @ Macys for some time now. Love the retro look of it. It got mixed reviews on the website, though. Do you like it? Do you use it a lot? Would you get it again? Just curious!
