Emily's Revenge



I was getting ready for the day and Emily had come into the bathroom with markers and a coloring book. Well Jackson grabbed a marker and Emily wasn't going to allow it, but I told her just to let him have it for a minute and I'd watch him, since he knows how to open them now. Well she didn't want to do that and started to scream. So I told her if she didn't stop screaming I would take her markers away. So instead she started screaming at the top of her lungs and ran out of my room with the markers. So I just locked my bedroom door. She screamed and pounded on the door the entire time I blew my hair dry. Then it got quiet and I figured she finally calmed down...(which is the family rule for coming back into the room once she's been screaming.) Well I opened the door and found what she'd been up too. To spite me she had colored all over the walls and door.
I actually wasn't too mad because I knew they were washable markers...then after 40 minutes of vigorous scrubbing with a soapy rag and finally Magic eraser. I got it all off. Then I was mad at her and the Roseart company for not making truly washable markers. She's lost crayons and markers for a month.

Ryan still can't understand why any parents (including me) allow children to have markers. He thinks they should be outlawed.
