Magic Markers and children

That poor baby!

Which is why I never bought magic markers for my son when he was little.

Baby looks like a child of Satan.

Magic markers and children


I'm just glad thoes children don't belong to me!

LOL! I never did think small children and magic markers mixed.

After six years on the job, they still won't let me have magic markers or rubber bands.

Hahaha!!!!

And where, exactly, was the caregiver suring this spurt of artistic talent?

Magic Markers and Children


The picture was e-mailed to me from a woman in Alabama about a year ago. I asked her once if the children were related to her, and she said no.

The picture was probably taken by the father, the mother would have been to horified to pick up a camera and take that picture!

Can you imagine how 'high' the baby must be? Those things are potent!

This incident occured in Alabama? Why does this not surprise me.

The caregiver was probably glued to the TV set watching Jerry Springer.

About 2 years ago, just before Christmas, I was on the phone with a colleague, discussing a file.

All of a sudden he was speaking to someone else, "Honey, it's o.k. Daddy will fix it. Don't cry. It's o.k. Just sit down. Please don't cry. It's all right. Daddy will fix it. " I told him that it sounded like he needed to call me back and hung up.

He called back about half an hour later. He was taking care of the kids for the morning, had brought them to the office - and given them markers. His son, about 3 years old at the time, had started markering the office walls and then realized he couldn't get them clean. In his frenzy to clean the office, he'd ended up covering himself - hands and face - with green and black marker. My pal emailed some photos from his digicam later that day. E. didn't look quite as decorative as the baby in this internet favouritie ^^^, but it was impressive what a few minutes with a magic marker can do - even with a parent in the same room.

doglover - that pic has been roaming around the internet for at least 3, perhaps 4, years. I don't think anyone knows where it originated anymore.

Oh, okay beth. My Alabama comment was made 'tongue in cheek'. I'm sure there are many good, attentive parents in Alabama...my sister-in-law being one of them.

Oh that is GREAT!!!! My daughter did something like that to my niece. Fortunately it was not magic markers but my mom's makeup. I love the proud look on the toddler's face - priceless.

By the way there are washable magic markers - that is what my daughter has.

Magic markers haven't been toxic in years. I miss those days, though, sniffing and huffing my way through the turmoil of kindergarten. Model-building class was the best...rubber cement and airplane glue...

Agh, now I've got hamburger all over the screen, and I'm still laughing. Rubber cement and airplane glue!

I remember the potent stuff we used in first year. One whiff, two whiffs, three whiffs, and suddenly the room was spinning.

HAHAHA! What was the supervisor (parent) doing? Taking pictures!

Welcome to the site Victor!

When our kids were small we called magic markers "dangerous weapons" and they were off-limits except for adults.

If that pic has been going round the 'net for three or four years, that baby may finally be getting those marks off her eyelids. That's delicate skin! <shudder> Why go for the eyes? Yikes!
