Remember my warning?

Do you remember my warning? The one I gave a couple of months back about markers and Sadie? At the time Sadie had a new cousin who was immobile and could be at the mercy of Sadie's artwork - there was cause for concern. And now Sadie has her own baby brother who could fall victim to the markers - higher chance of damage. Well the warning wasn't far off the mark.

Sadie is a normally chatty and engaging girl. She usually gives instructions about what to play and how to play it. Sometimes she will take instructions from the adults in her life - but not too often.
Today Sadie secreted herself from view. She had a couple of markers in hand. Slipping away unnoticed and being extremely quiet gave her mother some cause for concern. She quickly located Sadie and the markers. Sadly it was too late to prevent the inevitable. The damage had been done as you can see here:

Luckily her first victim was a lifeless doll - one without working eyes or supple skin - no hair or ears to hear. Actually if the doll had a real voice this damage might have been prevented. But alas, her mother was a wise woman. The markers are washable and the doll was cleaned up and back to normal in no time at all.

Hey Zac, you dodged a bullet this time.
Good luck from here on out!

Looks like some of the dolls I got as hand-me-downs.
