Alternatively titled: Why my son is no longer allowed to use markers.
(And, yes, I nearly had a heart attack before spotting the bright red marker in his brother’s hand.)

OMG, I would have had a heart attack. Glad it was a red marker, lol.
That is hysterical! One time Bitchy colored Sassy from head to toe with blue marker before I realized what they were doing. She looked like a blue smurf for about 3 weeks………
Did you laugh first or surpress the urge to kill him first?
All I can think of is….OMG is it going to come off? What about the CHRISTMAS PICTURES?!?!?!
Aw, but mom! They just wanted to look pretty for you! That’s a great shade for him. Really brings out his eyes.
My little guy got a hold of a black Sharpie and colored his belly, legs, arms and neck. I caught him just as he was about to get to the face. It took days before it faded.
That is one hilarious photo! Kinda does look like the Joker. I’m sure you will be showing it to him years from now.
Oh..Oh…oh…this is just hysterical, he totally looks like the joker! Ugh, you have nowhere to go today right?
Holy s*&t! Hope it was washable marker:)
Sad thing is… my girls get marker all over them, too. Happens every. single. time. And they’re 5 and 7!!!! I don’t understand how marker gets on your forehead when you’re supposed to be coloring paper on the table…
oh
my
God
I would have had such a hard time holding back the laughter. I mean, come on, that face–he so does look like The Joker. And that smile says “yahoooofuckinghoo!”
OMG! I feel you! when my daughter was 2 she got a BLUE SHARPIE and drew allover her hands ( they were covered) and up and down her arms and legs. She looked “veiny” for a week!
oh yeah, MARKERS Damn them all to hell- My son nearly got us busted by child protective nazis having made bruise coloured marks all over his face- It does not wash off. Even for school pictures….
C’mon, mom, he just needed a little lipstick! :)
My son did that with a high lighter this morning. I thought I had gotten rid of all the markers but he can sniff them out!
LMAO!!!! that would make a GREAT Christmas card pic!!! too cute and I can say this because mine are 15,13 and 11 LOL
LMAO!!! Too funny!
We have the "no marker" rule in our house for our 2 y/o, too, but for different reasons. She thought it would be fun to color the couch & TV… not so fun for Mommy & Daddy to clean up!
Haha. hopefully it washes off before the Christmas pictures
OMG, I can’t believe that is marker! How funny!!!
btw, you’ve been tagged. Have fun with it!
LOL that is sooo funny! Reminds me of the time we went shopping and I had a blue marker in my purse. I wasn’t paying attention to the little one in the cart. I turned around and found him drooling flourescent blue! Scared the crap out of me :) You should have seen the people watching us.
I have the greatest picture of my granddaughter covered in marker by her brother’s creative hand! She has a big smile on her face!
I love it!
Oh we regularly eat or feed markers to others over here. It have be some a staple in kids diet.
My heart jumped when I saw the pictire! I hadn’t read the post yet and I was sure it was blood..glad it was just marker and boy does he look cute!
WOW and more wow. This is exactly why my son is not allowed to use markers anymore either. He put it on all his face. :) Kids are so cute.
oh mai gawd!! that’s great!! The Girl got ahold of the markers yesterday. Purple. By the time she was done it looked like someone beat the crap out of her and had given her a black eye!! hahaha I love this age!!
Adorable. When he graduates from High School, you MUST display that picture for everyone to enjoy!
I agree with Pink Heels, keep that picture close for future use!
I love his eyes!!!
BWAHAHahahahahahaha! I’ve been there… a flash of terror, but then the realization sets in that it’s only marker and you try not to laugh!
Dory
Oh my god. You made me feel a little bit better about my kids today. Thanks!! (By the way, I PRAY those were washable!!)
Man, I so hate markers, even the washable ones. I always feel like such a bad mom when I have to scrub their skin raw!
Oh wow. I have to show my son this pic. He loves Batman and Joker right now.
Too cute! The girls at brownies colored red dots on their noses at the meeting last week. I was a little surprised. These are girls after all…
Haha! Love it!
Someone has been watching mommy put on lipstick… (And if that’s the case, honey, you could use a few pointers!)
