Close Encounters of the D'oh Kind...

A couple of days ago we went up at 11pm as normal to give the lad his final change and feed before our bedtime, and when we put the light on we saw he'd got a vivid dark blue mark across his crown - one that proved almost indellible, particularly as that is the soft part of his skull so scrubbing was not an option. Took me almost 15 minutes of gentle washing with a soapy flannel to get it off.

The missus espoused several worrying theories as to how this mystery might have occurred, including the possibility that he'd been 'marked' by aliens for abduction that night.

Turned out it was dye from her new blue sweatshirt, that he'd picked up earlier that evening while cradled in her arms......d'oh!

Still, better to cover all the options, eh?!
