Ok, probably not. But it really made me happy. Sam came downstairs, while Kory was helping the kids get ready for bed, to tell me something about a marker not being right and the whiteboard and something not moving. I went upstairs to discover that the word Sam was searching for was “permanent” and Lucy had taken a sharpee from downstairs, used it on her whiteboard upstairs, and we had beautiful black marker that wasn’t budging covering the surface. Kory told me to get a baby wipe which I did, although we both knew that really wasn’t going to work. So I did a google search (and sent up a prayer of thanks for google hehe) for how to get permanent marker off of white boards. The article came up with advice to color on top of the permanent marker with dry erase marker and then use a dry eraser to wipe it away. I actually almost discarded the advice entirely because really??? How is that supposed to work? But it was either try that or say good-bye to Mr. Whiteboard. So I tried it. And it worked. And my jaw dropped open. And the kids stopped listening to the Bible story to stare. So there you have it.
