What kind of moron buys nonwashable markers?!

That would be me. I left her alone for 3 seconds and when I came back she had scribbled "InfraRed" marker on herself, her mouth (because she was eating it) and of course my carpet. No biggie I think, it's washable. Nope. Just plain old Crayola. Thank goodness I had an economy size bucket of Quick n Brite. So I smeared that plus some color safe bleach on the carpet and scrubbed the heck out of it and we're good as new. I'm sure it was the first of many art supply related incidents to come.
