Portrait of the Artist as a Young Girl

January3

(note: all artwork is original and should be revered as such. Perhaps you can say a prayer or do a dance or something when you see how epic it is)

I came down, yesterday, from putting my daughter down from her nap. I took a cursory glance at my sons, and was all, “Hey Guys,” and started to walk away in search of more dancing cat videos to soothe me. Also: a mop to try and remove the goo that my sick daughter had left all over me.

I noticed something.

While this is what I expected to see:

That Devilish Imp!

Without, of course, the washout from the front door or the grainy pixelated quality of iPhone pictures. My son is not pixelated. NONE of my crotch parasites are pixelated.

This is what I saw.

My brain exploded everywhere.

I stood there, jaw flapped open before I began to holler furiously.

Because then I saw this:

After I stuffed my brains back into their cavity, I realized that there was only one guy to call.

BILLY MOTHERFUCKING MAYS.

Billy Motherfucking Mays.

Now, if you know anything about me (note: you shouldn’t), you should know that I fucking love Billy Motherfucking Mays.

When I use Oxyclean, the voice in my head SOUNDS LIKE BILLY MOTHERFUCKING MAYS. That’s comforting because I miss BILLY MAYS. A lot.

See, Pranksters, BILLY MAYS and I were BFF (best fucking friends) until he had to up and die on me. I’m still not over his death, but when I use his product, HIS VOICE SCREAMS IN MY HEAD, and it’s a little better.

The couches, I saw, they were a job for BILLY MAYS and OXYCLEAN. A job powered by ANGER and CAFFEINE.

I turned on my iPod and started in on them.

“All I Ask Of You,” from Phantom of the Opera came on.

Me: *grumble, grumble* “GOD, this is a crappy wedding song. Why do people choose the worst songs to dance to as their First Dance?”

BILLY MOTHERFUCKING MAYS.

BILLY MAYS: “THAT’S A BULLSHIT SONG, ALL RIGHT. MY WIFE AND I DANCED TO THE THEME SONG FROM THE SMURFS. NOW HOW’S THAT OXYCLEAN TREATING YOU? REMOVING YOUR STAINS? MAKING YOUR WHITES BRIGHTER? MAKING YOUR LIFE BETTER?”

Aunt Becky: “That’s kind of weird, BILLY MAYS. Even for you.”

*time passes*

Aunt Becky: “HOLY SHIT. I CAN’T FEEL MY FINGERS.”

BILLY MOTHERFUCKING MAYS.

BILLY MAYS: “BUT THE STAINS! FORGET ABOUT YOUR FUCKING FINGERS, YOU SNIVELING WHORE. HOW ARE THE STAINS? DO YOU HAVE BRIGHTER WHITES?

Aunt Becky: “SHUT YOUR WHORE MOUTH ABOUT THE FUCKING STAINS, BILLY MAYS. I HAVE NO FUCKING FINGERPRINTS!”

BILLY MAYS: “BUT THE STAINS!! HOW ARE THE STAINS? DO YOU HAVE BRIGHTER WHITES?”

Aunt Becky: “The worst part is that you’re in my head. And the BILLY MAYS in my head doesn’t care about my fingerprints being seared off by an Oxyclean bath.”

BILLY MAYS: “YOU SHUT YOUR WHORE MOUTH AND SCRUB, WOMAN. THOSE STAINS AREN’T GOING TO UNDO THEMSELVES. BRIGHTER WHITES!”

*time passes*

BILLY MAYS: “JUST WORK ON YOUR COUCH, YOU FUCKING NIMROD!”

2 hours of work, 2 rolls of paper towels and 2 bowls of Oxyclean later, this is what I got:

Don’t recognize it?

(BILLY FUCKING MAYS DIDN’T EITHER)

Portrait of the Artist as a Young Girl

That’s my daughter’s handiwork. It’s done in Pink Sharpie. On my couch.

BILLY FUCKING MAYS couldn’t touch that shit, ALTHOUGH HE GOT THE OTHER MARKER STAINS OUT.

Some day, I hope to auction this particular self-portrait off for many millions of dollars. Momma needs a yacht. And some new fingerprints.

Although having none could really launch my Life of Crime. Then I could by my OWN yacht. Wait a second…this idea is BRILLIANT.

Thanks, BILLY MAYS. You’re a fucking hero.

Trying to erase all that fine art is like burning books as far as I’m concerned! But I do agree, Billy Mays has a whore mouth, what a tool.

Oh holy crap my head exploded for you. Is it at least on a cushion that can be turned over? I’m running out right this second to buy the plastic wrap for my white couches.

(Just don’t go all Trading Spaces and spraypaint your couches!)

Two words: Slip. Covers. Maybe you can sew them up like you did with your “sit upon” that you made years ago. But really, there are a ton to choose from out there and at least you can preserve that precious drawing that you will make millions out of in years to come.

When I feel like fingerprint removal, generally prior to my own crime spree, I go with Mr. Clean and his oh so magic eraser. Get that thing wet and it’s fingerprints begone and guaranteed to burn minscule hangnails you didn’t know you had.
On January 3rd, 2011 at 1:50 pm Suzie Says:
I agree! Mr. Clean and his eraser are FABULOUS. If that doesn’t work, try the old hairspray technique.
On January 3rd, 2011 at 1:37 pm CycleNinja Says:
I think a cleaning job like that requires you to affix the cushions to the side of your car and drive through a car wash. The kind with the whipping brushes along the side, not the sissy touchless kind.

You are so rude–I love that. I wish I weren’t too much of a sissy to get a phoenix tattoo. The most I’ve ever done is get a henna tattoo, and then I was like “ouch!” My sweet little baby angel used to draw on the walls and doors and her toy kitchen appliances. We just waited for her to grow up and then painted and knocked out the walls and burned the doors.

I looked in my HOW TO CLEAN PRACTICALLY ANYTHING guide for you (you’re welcome) and saw Magic Wand and got all excited but, when I Googled it, it turned out to be just a stain removal stick. I think imma sue them for breach of excitement.

Anyway, the guide says to clean the marker ink with alcohol (alcohol is always a Good Thing–make mine Bourbon) and says “Call 1-800-CRAPOLA–sorry, that’s 1-800-CRAYOLA for additional information”.

My son pulled that artistic shit with permanent paint pens! One of his chosen pieces was all over a photograph I had *painstakingly* chosen, found, paid to have repaired/retouched and then enlarged. It was a newspaper photo of my husband’s beloved grandfather. AWESOME. So I had to go through the entire process all over again thanks to the paint pen. No amount of Oxyclean could fix it. Although really, Billy MoFo Mays makes cocaine a little MORE appealing. Is that wrong? Because I loved how he could make me want to shake that Oxyclean like a Polaroid picture….

Oh. My. BillYmays.

We have a black leather couch, and my guy is always yelling at the kids with their sharp objects.

You see, we can only have old or black stuff. Because I only wear black. Because since I was a teen, I have been spilling stuff on me (it runs in the family, though of 4 girls I’m the only one who figured out the black trick).

I learned the hard way on a first date with a guy I was super cross-eyed hot for (after 8 years together,he doesn’t know who I am … or so he says on FB!!!) I dumped a scoop of yogurt on myself.

So … OH! MY! BILLYMAYS! Your kid is really, really, really talented dude. That couch is probably worth a, like, gazillion bazillion dollars 50 years from now if you play your stage-mom cards right.
On January 3rd, 2011 at 2:52 pm Your Aunt Becky Says:
I should probably start dying her hair and bleaching her teeth and shit, right? Because I want my INVESTMENT BACK.
On January 3rd, 2011 at 6:35 pm karen Says:
And you know, as I yelled at my own monsters to clean up their playdoh before I flush it, under everything, aren’t we fucking so thankful that they have the capacity to wreak havoc? I know I am. xox
On January 3rd, 2011 at 9:21 pm Tisti Says:
Not bleaching her teeth my dear. Buying her FLIPPERS! Don’t you watch Toddlers and Tiaras?

On January 3rd, 2011 at 1:53 pm steph gas Says:
i second the notion of slip covers. then when you get bored of that color/pattern or someone needs to express themselves artistically again, you can take the slipcovers off and replace or wash them.

ALSO. you should take the cover off that cushion and have it matted and framed. and hang it on the wall. or auction it off. or whatevs.

Ahhh I remember those days. My daughter tattooed my soon with sharpie when she was about 2ish and he was 4ish. Yeah she is a mastermind. We used mail polish remover it worked and he smelled pretty for days.
But seriously no finger print is mother fucking genius now you’re life of crime can begin. Dexter would be so proud of you. I see the tear rolling down his eye right now.
And I have the one who punched the coke whore who I don’t remember his name with the Slap Chop Stuck in my head frequently and I often picture how the punch went down. I have issues.

Hey-Zues! You know I just discovered my newly cleaned microfiber couch with tiny blue circles courtesy of my 3 year old demon child. Nothing works. DAMN IT! Your posting just angered me now that I remember that there are blue doodles on my couch. Thanks.
On January 3rd, 2011 at 2:01 pm Andie Says:
OMG.. tears. I long ago gave up on trying to have anything nice in my home. My kids fetish is stickers. I have stickers on every motherfucking
surface in my house. My youngest recently stuck a sheet of Lisa fucking Frank shiny rainbow shit to my guitar. The only stickers that go on my guitar are rock band decals, clever bumper stickers and stickers stolen from Bubblelicious display ads, not Lisa Fucking Frank Shiny Rainbow shit stickers.

That being said, this possible your greatest entry ever.
On January 3rd, 2011 at 2:49 pm Your Aunt Becky Says:
*bows* I’m glad you like it. BILLY FUCKING MAYS told me IT SUCKED and that I should START SCRUBBING MY CARPET WITH OXYCLEAN.

I told him to piss off.
On January 4th, 2011 at 10:18 am Krista Says:
Oh, the stickers… I have unicorn, hello kitty and that whore strawberry shortcake stickers all over my house. I’ve stopped seeing them. My girlfriend was over and started freaking out about them. “Oh, here’s a unicorn. Let me get that off for you.” And a few minutes later, *slight judging tone* “Uh, Krista, here’s another sticker on your cabinet…” She finally gave up when I stopped feigning interest in removing them. It just doesn’t matter. 😉
Thanks for the awesome post!
On January 3rd, 2011 at 2:03 pm Peggy Brister Says:
I have to agree with the ppl who said slip covers. You probably should do what I had to do when my 2 youngest kids were your kids age and get EVERY PHUCKING marker completely OUT OF THE HOUSE and not allow them back in until they are around 9 or 10. Markers are the devil and there’s no reason little bitty kids need to have markers. Even those washable phuckers can ruin a couch. Crayons are much easier to clean up. SO you might wanna check into googling “slip covers” and then hide the markers.
On January 3rd, 2011 at 2:48 pm Your Aunt Becky Says:
I just got rid of the markers. And crayons. And possibly the crotch parasites themselves. But that’s you know, debatable right now.

When my daughter was around 4 years old, she took my “Reddest-of-Reds” lipstick and wrote on the freshly painted walls. I had to call the neighbor to come and get her, because I knew if she stayed around I would kill her.

Being absolutely FURIOUS, I started scrubbing and planning her demise. (The lipstick, of course, was smearing hideously.) As I continued with this seemingly futile effort I noticed some crude letters on the wall. I really wish I had taken a picture, as in a 4 year old’s scrawl was written, “I lov mome” (I love mommy).

I decided to let her live. At 21 she has won numerous awards for her artwork.

On January 3rd, 2011 at 2:16 pm Erin@MommyontheSpot Says:
At first, I thought that it was red pen. In that case, I would say use some hairspray because that gets red pen out (a little known fact I gleaned from teaching and bleeding red ink all over poorly written essays).

But sharpie marker? Ouch!

Slip covers with plastic cover on top of it?
On January 3rd, 2011 at 2:17 pm Mel Says:
That is awesome!

Well, not the fingerprints part, but just think, now you could take up a life of crime, and never have to wear gloves! Oxy-clean can now market to a whole new sub-segment of the population!

Also – are you going to send a message to sharpie? I think this would make a great ad campaign for them.
On January 3rd, 2011 at 2:20 pm Wombat Central Says:
Yes, I agree that a visit to slipcoversRus is in order. Pronto. Did she really color your son, too? On the plus side, now you can team up with your imaginary boyfriend, Dexter, and your crmes will be untraceable due to your nonexistent fingerprints.

My son and daughter did it TOGETHER. He’d just continued after I’d gone upstairs.

I think Mimi was just trying to tell you it’s time for a new couch. Don’t get all crazy, she just wanted you to have a new one.

Mea blamed her “art” on her sister, you know her 18 year old sister. Her’s was also done with crayon, on the wall, not hot pink Sharpie on the couch…

My little guy took a sharpie to the pergo floor, the walls, the curtains, the inside of a closet, etc. At that time, his “people” looked like carrots. One was so sweet I just had to save it. Or maybe it was because it was on the pleated window shade and I didn’t want to try to get it out.

Many moons ago my now 10 year old treated the back of our couch to the same decor, only in green sharpie. Forget the markers, lock the parasites up – just last month my 13 (yes…13!!!) year old scratched a word into the top of my dining room table with a pen. So I figure I can finally safely decorate my house in 8-10 years, husband not withstanding.
On January 3rd, 2011 at 4:40 pm Lori @ In Pursuit of Martha Points Says:
It was at times like this when I would look up package shipping rates to Siberia.

Fortunately for my son, the costs were always prohibitive.

We also refer often to “The Shouting Man” when we are referencing obnoxiously loud commercials.

Which of course is homage to Billy Mays.

May his screaming soul rest in peace.

OK, I’m trying. I’m trying SO hard. I’m trying SO hard not to piss myself laughing.

I say leave the couch as is – that is a priceless work of art. You will have every guest EVER from here on out rolling.

Monkey did that once. He black-sharpied the entire kitchen (walls, fridge, cupboards, oven – you name it, he “made it pretty, mama”) of the apartment we were renting. Good times. Mr. Clean Magic Erasers got off most of the marker. Unfortunately, they also removed most of the paint. Good times.

I should get kickbacks from Billy Mays as often as I promote Oxiclean. However, my darling daughter at the age of two decided to decorate my brand new couches and end tables with green sharpie. I know your pain. Oxiclean was no match. Nothing worked. I flipped the pad and the pillows over. I hope you find the magic answer!
On January 4th, 2011 at 10:05 am Your Aunt Becky Says:
I should, too! We should go to Oxyclean, dude! Just be all, OXYCLEAN, WE NEED SOME MONIES FOR ALL THE GOOD THINGS WE SAY ABOUT YOU.

This is clearly the answer.

on the one hand, I’m a little concerned you’re hallucinating Billy Mays.

on the other, you might have a genius on your hands. I’d start promoting her now. never too young, I say.

can’t believe your kids drew all over your house.
On January 4th, 2011 at 6:38 am Megan Says:
As a chemist, I’ll let you know this. Sharpie markers are solvent-based, so you have to use a solvent to clean them up. Rubbing alcohol or acetone (nail polish!!) works wonders. Oxi-clean is not a solvent and will not take it up (it works with water-based stuff, like Crayola markers). My husband also works in a furniture store and they use Windex and it takes shit out of anything.
On January 4th, 2011 at 6:47 am Meg Says:
LOL. Thanks for the giggle today Aunt Becky. I had to laugh at Billy Mays talking in your head about dancing to the Smurfs theme song. I told my fiancee that I want to be married in Vegas, on april fools day and walk down the aisle to the Smurfs theme song…he told me no. He just doesn’t understand the awesomeness of the Smurfs. Oh and I usually use Resolve fabric cleaner for getting crap out of my couch..of course it’s usually olive oil (damn pasta) and not sharpie markers.

Ok, I have a dog (yes I still have her, she is 12 now) that was a holy terror pup and chewed up EVERYTHING. Including carpet that was professionally installed. She finally did the unthinkable and found a red sharpie. For chewing in the living room of the house we rented that had beige carpeting. For reals. I only got it to fade to pink. That was 10 years ago, and I ended up buying a throw rug to put over it.
You may want to consider buying this for the children. http://www.thinkgeek.com/tshirts-apparel/kids/e515/ They also have a shirt that says “I void warranties”. Good luck my friend!
