Miracle!

I thought I should let all my concerned blog buddies know that a miracle occurred the other day. I brought Sam in to talk about the table with his really nice printing on it. He, of course, went into hysterics because he thought I would be so mad. I told him I wasn't mad, but he did need to try to clean if off. I handed him a bottle of rubbing alcohol and some Q-tips and told him to get to work. Now, I was expecting him to put in a lot of elbow grease and not see any improvement-thus reinforcing that we should not write on the furniture. Imagine my dismay (!) when the stinkin' marker came off with so little effort! Don't get me wrong, I'm glad the table looks better, but I really wanted this to be a learning experience for Sam. I'm hoping that the lesson he learned was NOT that it's okay to write on stuff because it comes off easily! Not really the lesson I had in mind. But nevertheless, truly a miracle, I think.
