Start with baking soda on a wash cloth, scrub vigorously while child howls, look at washcloth and notice it is pink, look at child, notice it is still red. Move onto vinegar (mixed with some baking soda) attempt to get pink ink off of face. Accidentally get some in mouth of howling, protesting child. Child begins to wretch and squeal but ink begins to come off. Move onto peanut butter as child is now attempting to drown herself. Child attempts to lick peanut butter off of arms (that still have vinegar and baking soda on them). More howling, retching, and splashing. All parties concerned are now soaking wet and covered in a peanut butter, vinegar goo. Desperation. Mother debates the wisdom of just adding nail polish remover to the bath water. Decides against. Scrubs howling, flailing, sputtering children with soapy water vowing to lock up craft supplies with the cleaning supplies. Decides pink tinged children really don't look too bad. Gives up.
If that's what you guessed, you would be mostly right... I left out a few of the bad parts...

Oh, I'm so sorry. And I promise I didn't laugh... much.
You always have the most entertaining mommy moments. Mine are not near as funny. You always make me smile. Happy Belated B day to the kiddos.
