Crayola is my new enemy

Somehow, with eight years of motherhood under my belt, I didn't know that Crayola makes markers that are not washable. I just assumed Crayola meant kid-friendly, mom-approved washable markers. Not true, not true. Addy had 2 bucks burning a hole in her pocket and she thought some new markers for $.98 were a steal. I had to agree but I should have been the wiser. Ryan made the discovery when we brought them home and was shocked I allowed another marker purchase. Well, 2 days later Mia found them while Addy was at school and got creative (luckily only on her body). When I suspected they were the un-washable markers I did a test and it was confirmed. I told Mia it probably wouldn't wash off and she freaked out! She went into the bathroom and started scrubbing. Maybe she thought it would stay forever. Addy and Halle were yelling that I better take a picture for the Bravas before it the damage was erased but that made Mia more upset. She DID NOT want this documented as you can tell from her reaction. About an hour in the tub and it's almost off. The markers in question were promptly thrown away.
