Tips & Tricks: Removing Ink Pen from Clothing

I don't have photos for this so you will have to completely and totally trust me on this one.  If, for some unknown reason, you have an ink pen mark on your clothes or your child has an ink pen mark on his or her clothes, all you need to do to remove the ink is grab a q-tip, dip it in rubbing alcohol, and blot the ink stain with the q-tip directly on the clothing.  It may take a few blots or a few dips of rubbing alcohol, but, once again, like the magic the dry erase markers performed on the permanent markers, the ink stain will magically disappear right in front of your eyes!  And then you can wash your clothes as normal and you won't ever notice a difference!*

I'm thinking of changing the "Tips & Tricks" title of this series to "Magic".  Thoughts?!

*Disclaimer 1:  Try at your own risk.  I would test a discreet area on the clothing/fabric you are using to be sure you don't ruin anything you don't want to ruin.  I personally was more interested in getting the ink stain out of Kate's shirts than I was interested in making sure I didn't ruin them.  After all, if I didn't get the ink stain out they were already ruined anyway.  But I may not have had that same attitude if said ink stain were on something else less disposable...like my couch.  Not that Kate's clothes are disposable, but you get what I'm saying.

*Disclaimer 2: I would highly recommend washing your clothes or your child's clothes after blotting rubbing alcohol on them.  Highly.
