Father of the Year – Sort Of
Thursday afternoon…
“Daddy!!! Look what is on my nose!”
“Wow Sohaila. Why do you have a black dot on you nose?”
“Well Daddy. Today was the 101st day of Kindergarten!!!”
“Oh!!! So you’re a Dalmatian?”
“Yup”
It looked like fun, so down into the basement Carlos went to blacken a dot on his nose.
Heather – “Babe? What did you use to color your nose?”
Me – “Um. A Sharpie. Why?”
Heather – “I don’t think that is gonna come off”
Me – “Whatever. Yes it will”
For some reason, Carlos decided to go to be 5 hours earlier than normal this evening.
He forgot to remove the black dot of Sharpie love.
The next morning Carlos woke up late and was rushing out the door to take Sohaila to Kindergarten. He happened to glance in the mirror and saw the black dot.
“Oh crap.”
Soap, warm water, a wash cloth and 30 seconds of hard scrubbing got the Sharpie off.
“See. Heather does not know what she is talking about.”
Little did Carlos know that not only did he remove the layer of Sharpie…
He removed the epidermis below as well.
Day One…
Day Two…
But if you look closely, I swear the mark looks like Africa…
Los
RAIN IT DOWN
Hilarious!!!!! Looking forward to hanging out with you guys at the end of Feb. Would love to visit your church as well.
P.S. you are going to LOVE Africa…it totaly captures your heart and will change you forever.
LOL!
Hey if youre moving out of the basement you need to post about that. I am happy for you and family!
Thanks for a good laugh. I hope it was laughing with you – not at you…
Just FYI for the future-I think rubbing alcohol gets sharpie off skin. I know it works for regular ink on skin, and it works for Sharpie on whiteboard.
LOL too funny! What is it about this day 100 that gets the kids so crazy?! (Parents too I guess! LOL)
You’re so cool…
That is absolutely something that would happen to my husband! Congratulations! It seems that not only is God putting Africa on your heart…He is putting it on your face for all the world to see.
Brilliant!
It’s a sign from God.
haha!! it totally looks like africa!
definitely africa.
hahahaha!! ouch!, but yeah, it does kinda look like Africa.
You need to use Chapstick or something.
that is hilarious! all of it.
What a great Dad you are! I am glad that you got some sleep too. Yup, I see Africa. You are too funny!
My former roommate told me that hand sanitizer works wonders in getting Sharpie off skin. She swears by it.
Africa. Yes.
Next time use 409.
Don’t worry anyone…I just gave Los a tube of black acrylic paint…washes off with good ole’ water…or since we are in a drought and if you have a long tounge you can just lick it off…. no scrubbing required
Mr. Clean’s Magic Eraser … with two small boys, we’ve used it many times
1. ALWAYS listen to your wife.
2. Africa? Really?
Hehehe, I am having trouble which thought to lead off with as I have two…
1. Carlos has a hickey on his nose!
2. The kids are following daddy’s steps with the ink. Which is kinda cool because todayat church we heard from people who went on short-term international mission trips last year, and one guy was wearing a shirt his wife gave him that said, “Jesus loves me and my tattoos!”
Heather says, “Now if you could only apply that scrubbing power to the bathroom…”
