Today, my little brother learned to write his name. How did he tell the family? By writing it in permanent marker all over my 100 year old piano. FML

Musicians treasure antique instruments. Ever thought of that? Guess not. Musicians prefer older instruments to newer ones. The older it is, the better it sounds because the instrument was broken in. Second reason, better quality. There are sets of violins from the 18th century that sound and play better than those made today.

If your kids can get a hold of a permanent marker, then you are a very stupid piece of fail. Totally deserve

Assuming this child is about 4, probably a little older if he can write his name, it would be relatively easy for him to get his hands on a permanent marker anywhere in the house. Not to mention, it was the OPs brother, not the OPs child.

My niece wrote on the couch in pen once. Surprisingly baby wipes got it out. Worth a shot?

what is with all these FMLs with kids and permanent markers? permanent markers are not that permanent, use baby wipes or soap or something, itll come off. and woww people, keep permanent markers away from kids, kids away from valuables that are supposedly so DAMN important. sheeeeeeeeesh.

Rubbing alcohol on a rag will remove permanent marker and not damage the wood.

I don't believe it's YOUR piano. if your little brother is THAT young, you would have to be too young to have enough money to buy a hundred year old piano.

This is silly. Why would she lie about it being her piano? She may not have bought it herself (although there's nothing saying she didn't) but she could have easily inherited it from a relative, or been given it as a gift. Or she might be an adult, and maybe she did buy it herself. Siblings don't have to be close in age and it's getting more and more common for siblings to be far apart in age. The kid might be five, she might be twenty. She might even be older. She might be 30, and he might be 5, and the parents passed on or became incapable of raising the kid somehow and she's raising him. There's no reason to doubt that it's her piano.

I would have killed that little punk (not really but i would def drop kick it)!!! i totally know how you feel my niece broke some of my favorite things (i fixed them) but i showed her what she did, talked in a serious and commanding voice, asked her what she did wrong and gave her a time out, been better since and i am now giving her riding lessons as a reward for good behavior on my pony.

Kid shouldn't have been unattended that long while such things are in reach at an age where writing is new. But it's not the end of the world, you will probably just have to scrub off the marker with rubbing alcohol and refinish the piano. It will be a lot of work but far from a total loss.
