Um, help?

Anyone know anything that gets marker out of fur? Meggan decided colouring pictures wasn't enough. It's an interesting effect with the green jelly over all...

I'm going to be optimistic and hope they were just sharpies.

If they are, they'll clean up pretty easily too.

Haven't yet, and I don't want to use anything too strong in case I irritate her skin too much or make her fur fall out or something. *sighs* It might just have to wear out, which doesn't seem to bother her that much. *wry*

It's just marker. Won't hurt her. I once colored my hair black with a marker because I didn't want it to be red anymore and see, no harm expect for this persistent accent.

Heh. My mom thought the Discovery Channel would make a nice safe distraction one day while she did some laundry. Of course, they were doing a special on the Maori . . .

Oh! and you drew all the tribal symbols everywhere? There was a girl who did that back home. Her arms would be covered from fingertip to shoulder. Her mother always yelled at the teacher for it.

Well, I wouldn't so much say tribal symbols as random squiggles in as many colors as I could manage. I wanted to improve on what I'd seen on the TV.

I don't think my mom left me alone in a room again until I went off to kindergarten. :)

Aye, hers weren't so much knots as they were lots of criss-crossing lines.

Your poor mum.

That's pretty much what Meggan's done. Clothes too, but that's not such a big deal since it's just one of the smocks Margali made for her in a hurry. Think we have her official 'making a mess' clothes now.

And you're scaring me. *wry* Think I've got meself yet another reason to get her up to scratch with the talking and all. Tho' considering back in April she barely could talk at all, I think she's doing pretty well...

[xp_daytripper]

It won't? Oh, good. I was worried there was something in it that might make her sick or something.

And black, huh? Can't picture it myself - you would have been Goth-er thn Goth with that pale skin of yours. Then again, I can't talk. ;)

Nah, I doubt we have any toxic markers just lying around. Too many munchkins running around with grabby hands for that.

Jet black. Like Shiro's hair. It was horrid and my face got all streaked too.

Kitty probably has pictures of it, come to think.

Have somewhere, yes. I remember that. Storm was really funny and sarcastic about it. Something to the effect that hair dye was faster and safer and left you with more time to finish your homework. And then it didn't wash out evenly and you had funny black stripes in your hair...

[x-siryn.livejournal.com]

And it turned that ashy grey colour.

Took forever to grow out too but Storm wouldn't let me just dye it back or cut it off.

Teachers and their blasted "object lessons".
