Wall-Covering Invention

Remember the adage an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure?
If you can prevent their ounce of coloring on the walls, it’ll save you a pound of cleaning.
That is the downside of those Magic Erasers, right? It makes it too easy to undo damage done to the walls by kids. You reprimand them for coloring on the walls, then they see you just wipe it right off. And they wonder “what’s the big deal? I color on the walls, and it comes right off…”
Thus I will spend My wrath on the wall and on those who have plastered it over with whitewash; and I will say to you, ‘The wall is gone and its plasterers are gone,

You just make cleanup take artificially longer. The Chuck-E-Cheese is a straight-shot on the highway. But taking the backroads for 60 minutes till you get to the Chuck-E-Cheese? Kid’s will think twice before asking to go :)
Sure, it takes an eraser to clean the wall. It also takes a stuffed toy to wipe the wall afterwards, and then you burn the stuffed toy because it contains chemicals.
