What's wrong in this picture?

Yes this is why mothers shouldn't try to take a shower. Thankfully it was just pencil and I had the good silken touch wipe off porter paint or else I would've had to have painted my entire bedroom as the markings were all around it. I was in such shock that I literally had to fight back the laughter because I knew I was supposed to be mad and teach a valuable lesson at this point. All I could do was send Graham to his room until I could gather myself. I felt the most fitting and memorable punishment for him would be to make him clean it all up. So after 30 minutes of a pencil eraser and Mr. Clean magic eraser, the tears started to flow. His arm was tired but I made him keep going until the majority of it was gone hoping he would never want to do this again. My mom reminded me of a similar situation when I was about his age and her bathroom wall so I suppose it is a rite of passage for all mothers to go through.
