Our markers are reproducing?

I decided a few months ago to put the art supplies on a small table in the kitchen so the girls could color or do crafts whenever they wanted. This worked well except that I had to remove and hide all the markers because Brielle likes to express her creativity everywhere!!
But no matter how well I "think" I hide them, Brielle always seems to find some.... so this morning I heard Katie screaming for me while I was in the other room.

Katie: MOM, Brielle has a marker! Brielle... put that marker away its pregnant!!


I think what she may have been trying to say was PERMANENT... ha ha
But it would explain why the markers keep multiplying around here!
