Attention All Parents: This is a Public Service Announcement

For anyone who went to the potluck at my kids’ school last night, the temporary tattoos can be removed by laying duct tape over the image and gently pulling it away from the skin. You may need to repeat the process to completely remove the image.

I ran the Face Painting table. Right now there’s about fifty kids out there with a semi-permanent reminder of my contribution to the evening’s festivities. Some of them have more than one, and more than a few of them have them on their face.

I may be the most hated man in Grand Rapids at this moment — at least by all of the parents who tried to scrape the tattoos off with a washcloth (removing seven or eight layers of skin in the process).
