Man, he is QUICK!

I turned away for only a few seconds. In that time Joel managed to fish two black Sharpies out of Brandon's backpack and go wild with them. He scribbled a dark patch all over the facial features of one of his toy ducks. I guess he decided that the hapless animal needed a mask to hide its secret identity. I was able to clean the marker mask off the long suffering plastic ducky using hairspray. There are only a few faint stains left on Joel's chubby fingers, and his face is mostly clean. I still haven't figured out how to remove the hyroglyphics from the microfiber couch, however.
