Stamp Happy Coach

[ilfaith]

Thank you DS's soccer coach for covering my child's arms and legs with stamps after practice this evening. The black marks all over his legs made him look as though he had been run over by a truck because they so resembled tire treads. I do not know what kind of ink you used, but half an hour soaking in the tub and some rigorous scrubbing did not remove them entirely. Of course you could not have known he has school pictures tomorrow. I guess he will be wearing long sleeves and pants even though the temperatures are supposed to be in the mid-80s.

Rubbing alcohol??

Ugh. How annoying!

Are they class pictures or individual pictures? If individual, then they might just be shots from mid-chest and up. Maybe no need for long everything?

Have you tried rubbing alcohol to get the marks off?

The photographer does more "artistic" photos than just the typical head and shoulder school portraits; the letter he sent home mentioned there would be some full-length shots (so make sure to wear decent shoes).

I will see if the stamps wear off at all overnight and then try alcohol in the morning.

Try sunscreen...

Of all things, I've found hand sanitizer to work really well. (And most parents have some!)

another vote for rubbing alcohol

Unbelievable! Of course, it would be the night before picture day....

Probably because hand sanitizer is more than 50% alcohol.
