help!!!! DS has drawn sportacus moustache on face with pen and it won't come off. Nativity play this morning!

[missingthemountains]

how do I get the pen off???

(sorry this isn't the right topic but I couldn't work out which one to post this under)

Let him go dressed as Sportacus?

He could Save The Day

sorry, no help i know, just pmsl!

Is he playing a character who could have a moustache?

Sorry - this is quite funny.

I have no idea how to get the pen off I'm afraid. Alcohol?

Have you got any Milton in the house - that's sometimes good - or baby lotion?

Little monkey - sorry I just have to laugh.

lololol

that is so funny

Tell the school you were helping with his costume.

Of course this will only work if he is Joseph/shepherd/wise man.

If he's Mary this suggestion won't help.

Oh dear.

Rubbing alcohol should do it.

No advice, just PMSL!!

Actually DH recommends furniture polish for getting anything off of anything, but I don't think it would work on a child's face!!

Surely it's only a problem if he's playing Mary? - or perhaps a sheep

liath - if you don't have rubbing alcohol, do you think any spirit (eg vodka) would work?

On the other hand, maybe even worse to go in with a moustache and smelling of booze...

Sorry mtm - I know it's probably the last thing you need....

I was going to suggest vodka but then didn't want to be responsible for the consequences of your ds going into school smeeling of booze !!

PMSL

Its a good point that fondant makes!!

Have you tried your own make-up remover or is the pen a permanent one?

Sorry this is so funny, Its cheered up my morning already....probably not what you want to hear when yours isnt going to plan!

No help but

I do agree it's quite funny - fortunately he is the Innkeeper so a tash isn't too much of a disaster - except that it's in purple ink

have tried baby wipes already - off to try some alcohol (for me to drink if it doesn't get the pen off)

If he's the innkeeper do you have a dressing up beard which he could wear which could maybe hide the purple tash?

Eye make up remover?

Probably best just to draw on some glasses for good measure.

PMSL!

So the innkeeper rocks up to school with a purple tash AND smelling of alcohol - man, the teachers are going to think you are one mad mother, paying that much attention to authentic detail

You just made my day.

Hope it went well too late to posat a useful suggestion.(didn't have one anyway)

They'll think he's a method actor

Good luck MTM

fantastic

Make sure you take plenty of photos as this is the stuff of family legends. Thank you for cheering me up a treat!

thanks, i felt low this morning but am now [gri]

maybe sneak a cd player in and blast iout hotel california as he answers his door? would match the purple tash a treat LOL
