I am babysitting a 2 year old and she recently got a hold of a pen with red ink in it and wrote on the walls with it. How do I get this off? I have tried magic erasers but that didn't work, I have heard that nail polish remover helps but I don't have any at this point. What do I do?

Thank you,
PickPop...

Paint the wall.

What else can I do that doesn't involve painting? I am only 13 years old, I CAN'T PAINT THE WALL... :)

Are you babysitting?

Accidents happen. Just tell the parents about it, and they will take care of it.

You tell the people that you're babysitting for that the kid wrote on the wall while you were supposed to be watching them. You admit your mistake and let the parents take care of the wall.

WhiteOut?
Not sure if stores even sell it anymore.. was used to correct type in a typewriter while the paper was still in it and you could backspace and type over the whiteout.

Sure White Out is still sold... I use it by the gallon here at work!

I use Bic... I am terrible when I hand write things. My hand works quicker than my brain does so mistakes abound!

The proper thing to do is tell the parents and let them handle it because sooner or later they will find out and then they will wonder why you never told them. Even if you hide the ink the wall still will have to be properly repainted.

And it's there wall isn't it?

Okay for everyone's information this was not a mistake. My parents know about the wall and they are not mad at all! They wanted me to try and find a way to get it of while having my time in the house. We are moving TODAY and we have to get this done. I need helpful answers not answer like: Ohhh just admit your mistake to your parent and you'll be O.K.! Thanks

This is not about hiding it from my parents...

I gave you a reasonable suggestion 6 days ago - White out (Wite Out, Liquid Paper).
You never mentioned that it is YOUR PARENT'S HOUSE!
Nor that you were moving.

Since its your parent wall. That does make a difference to most of us.

So how do you figure we were supposed to know this from the information that you provided us when you first posted about it?

You said you were babysitting a 2 year old who wrote on the walls... didn't say anyone knew about it... didn't say it was your house... didn't say you were moving... The answers you were given WERE helpful based on the information (or, as it turns out, lack of information) you gave us.

If it's your parents' house, why is this your responsibility? I'm guessing you are a young teen. (***ADDED You are 12.)
