Note to the Maid

Please be advised that failure to remove writing utensils from a 5-year old boy's trousers will result in disastrous consequences to the entire dryer-full of laundry, as well as to the dryer itself. Such dire consequences will require much time and labor spent with a box of cotton swabs, a bottle of isopropyl alcohol and a keen eye for spying spots. Upon failure to completely remove such stains to the countless articles of clothing, cheap hairspray may be applied, while also crossing your fingers. The ultimate and unfortunate defeat will most likely necessitate complete disposal of said garments.

Therefore, be mindful to always check all trouser and shirt pockets of previously mentioned 5-year old little boy.

We have totally done that before! I think it was years before we stopped wearing clothes with blue spots on them. Good luck!
