As a parent, I would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to your organization for your decision to make your crayons and markers in such a way that they can be washed off of a freshly painted living room wall with nothing more than a wet rag and some elbow grease. It is very much appreciated. It is amazing how creative a young boy can be with your products in the two minutes it takes to go into the kitchen to get a second cup of coffee, and the relief felt when the blue, green, yellow, and red marks came off was wonderful
Sincerely,
Daddy J. Bear
P.S. What happened to the razor blade thing on the big box of crayons? I’ve had to use my EDC knife to sharpen crayons all morning.

I remember sharpeners on crayon boxes, does that make me old? Though now that I think about it its been a while since I’ve seen one….

How proud you must be. I trust you removed the inscribed section of the wall prior to having it framed and auctioned off at Dorotheum’s? How do you intend to invest the proceeds?

To protect us and our children from the horrors that could result in sticking your finger or threatening to stick someone’s finger in it..
Yes it is a good thing they make them washable….

/ May 19, 2012I have pictures of Large and Medium Fries, scrubbing black crayon off the walls.
Ours were not the washable crayons, so while it came off, it took *considerable* elbow grease on their part.
I think we even have video, with them sniveling, and Hubby narrating in amusement as they proclaim the “unfairness” of their punishment.

/ May 19, 2012Julie, the large boxes of 64 crayons used to have a built-in pencil sharpener on them. I noticed to today that Boo’s didn’t.
Auntie J, I was sorely tempted. Thankfully, it all came off pretty easily. Ain’t modern technology grand?
MadJack, no, there are no remains of the modern art masterpiece. I destroyed all evidence before his mother got home.
Ruth and Maddmedic – Yeah, they were probably taken out because someone’s snowflake decided to peel the end of one of his digits with one. We’re being killed by those making the world safe for the stupid.
