All Inked Up

Now I love my son..  Don't get me wrong,..  But there are days when I could kill him!!

Last Sunday was one of those days...

He had helped himself to a bit of paper and what I thought was a pencil (and later realised was a blue ball point pen) and was happily drawing away when I heard that special sound of pen nib on carpet...  Ahhh  the serenity...

His little artwork was quickly "carpet powered" (and SHOCK, Carpet Power does NOT actually work) and the stain spread..  

We rang father in law who has a lot of knowledge on all things carpet and his suggestion was to shoot the child..  I explained that this wasn't an option as we would then have a blood problem to deal with as well as the ink, so father in law came over and saved the day by using his special carpet solvent stuff to get the ink out...

The child on the other hand, will never touch a pen again....

Helping to clean up his mess..
