Because if you weren't washable, I don't think Ella Grace would have seen the light of day ever again.
The story goes a little like this:
Ella asks me to sit with her at her little table while she watches a "scary" part of an Elmo movie. Side note: The scene is not scary, not even for a two year old, so we can't figure out why she needs the comfort but whatever. So, I'm sitting there pretending to watch and staring at the cartoon on the TV screen. As I'm staring, I notice so blue squiggly lines that don't appear to be a part of the cartoon. I continue to move my eyes to the right and realize there are blue and red squiggles all over the bottom foot or so of the TV screen! This is what the next few words out of my mouth went like:
Ooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh myyyyyyyyyyyyyyy gaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh, hand over mouth. Ooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhh mmmmmyyyyyyyyy gggggggggaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh!
At the point Brian is going "what, what, what." I finally get the words out to tell him there is marker all over his brand new 56 in. Pana TV.
He remained calm and replied "get it off," stood up and said something like "if my $1000 TV is ruined, what do we get it off with, get it off, can we use that cleaner stuff."
I had no clue what "washable markers" really meant. Are they really washable on anything? I still don't know but am thankful for 3 things:
- that the markers were washable b/c Ella and I probably would have had to move out of the house.
- for the samples of screen cleaner I received from vendors knowing when I took them that I probably wouldn't use them. I was wrong!
Let's back up a few weeks. Our old 56 in. blew out and we were pretty ticked off about it because it was only a few years old. I think 100 other things had gone wrong that week and having to spend $$ on a new TV just sucks! So, seeing marker on your 7 day old TV isn't cool. not. at. all!
