My 12 year old son comes home from school with a pen that he found. I see him bending the pen back and forth and I tell him not to explode the pen, the ink will make a mess. I start to get dinner ready and he goes outside to play. He comes in a few minutes later, gets on the computer and is really quiet. I go to get something out of the pantry and I notice blue ink on the door. I call my son over and ask him why is there ink on the door. He says I don't know. I ask him if he exploded the pen and he tells me no. I ask to see his hands and they are covered with blue ink. I ask him again did you explode that pen, he says no. I clean the ink off the door and tell him to wash his hands and check around the house for more blue ink.
The white front door has a big smear of ink about 6 inches below the handle. I tried to clean it off but it is not coming off. I just painted the door a few months ago and I don't feel like sanding down and repainting. At this point I am count to ten over and over, trying not to yell, but picturing doing some physical harm to him, which I did not. He eventually admits the "magic" blue ink did come from him even though he originally denied knowing where it came from.
Any suggestions on removing the ink and keeping the paint intact?
Before you get on my case about making dinner, my wife is in Chicago today and you don't want her cooking anyway.
