    An update. I picked up a Magic Eraser and will let you guys know if it works.

    Try a pink rubber type pencil eraser.

    If the paint on the walls is flat your F'ed, but if it has a sheen you have a shot.

    Well, the magic eraser didn't seem to work any better than the 409, but it DID work on the new crayon marks (yup, she did it again today).

    Speed is your friend, if the crayon gets attacked quickly, it can be removed...if it sits...ruh roh Reorge.

    Ohhhhh.. that girl is lucky I'm not her nanny! just kidding folks!

    2 days a week I go "watch" (he's normally sleeping) Harrison at 5:30am, till his mom takes him to school at 8:15am and today he was up at 5:30 and he was such a handful. He was so snotty. I asked him to brush his teeth to get ready for school and he was like, "I don't take orders from you, you're not my mother, you don't even have ANY kids"

    I was like.. "Okay, let's try that again. BRUSH YOUR TEETH, please!"

    At the ass crack of dawn, I can't be bothered with smart mouth comments.

    Here's another one. The other day he was throwing a baseball really hard in the house and it hit his dog, Hazel. I said to him, "Harrison, you can't hit Hazel with a ball, she's a little dog, and she's old, and its not nice to hit her" to which he said, "I didn't hit her", and I said "I am sitting right here, and I saw it happen, please tell her you're sorry, and don't do it again" and he said....

    "I'm not going to argue with you any longer, this is not up for discussion"


    !!!!!!!!!! I was like.. "WHAT?! YOU'RE 6!!!!"


    Oh children.. why must you test the limits at all times! You're little spunky devil needs an easel ASAP.

    Yesterday a neighbor's kid was outside and I called him over by waving to him. Took a couple times, but eventually he wandered over and in a loud, frustrated voice, he yelled...

    "What do you want with me?"


    Damn near fell over laughing. His mother was rippin'!
    I love to turn you on

    That entire post needs to be in the Kids Say The Darndest Things thread. :p I know it's not particularly funny when he's being a little cheeky to you in person, but damn, that made me laugh. :D

    Just leave it. I promise you it will happen again and again. When they get older make them paint the room.

    Sorry I'm late on this...
    But since the crayons are wax based... use and iron on the low setting over a paper towel to get the bulk of it off. The heat from the iron makes it liquify and the paper towel absorbs it.
    To get the rest, use something that'll break down grease or wax... Simple Green is a good choice. Spray and dab with a clean cloth. If it still does not come off... heat with a blow dryer... spray and dab.
    ...
    If the kids made a gigantic mess... think about what color you want to paint your walls.
