Anyone know how to remove marker off a child's tongue?

My already very stealthy 13 month old daughter snuck up behind her brother, snagged a green marker right out of his hand, and promptly stuck it in her mouth.  A diaper wipe removed it from her lips and teeth, but her tongue is still a gruesome shade of green.  Her gap-toothed grin has taken on a somewhat startling appearance, to say the least.  Thankfully, they are non-toxic, and I am hoping it will wear off?  The day could only get better from here, right?

I don't have any advice, but it only looks bad! It will wear off...take a picture and capture the moment...

Wow - everything goes in the mouth - huh? It will wear off.

It will wear off....trust me.

Ha, reminds me of the time I stuck a little bead up my nose when I was about 3 and I couldn't get it out. My son stuck popcorn kennels in both of his ears and a doctor had to remove them.

So, not everything goes in the mouth and some marker on the tongue seems not as bad as it could have been.

I agree with Bundy -- we need pictures!!! I'm sure it'll wear off over time.

Rubbing alcohol removes marker quite well. Since you can't use that, try a martini in a sippy cup.

Waiting to see how long it takes someone to get their panties in a wad over my last comment...

LMAO @ Andrea

I vote for taking pictures before it wears off - you might just have an opportunity to use them for blackmail later

no underwear in a bundle for me, cause it think the martini in the sippy cup is for mom. No one ever died of green marker tongue, atake a few pics and hide the rest of the markers.

Andrea, I suggest that we go over and supervise those martini's, just to make sure they are quality, dont ya know?

Someone wrote an article about WD-40, maybe that would work? Have you tried one of the Mr. Clean magic erasers? HA HA!! JK!! YES, WE WANT PICTURES!!!

Now I'm waiting to see how long it takes for someone to get their panties in a wad over Jae's comment. Never mind mine.

just get her to scrunch up her face in a Jerry face and stick out her toungu, and she can do sumo wrestler commercials....she's too cute to notice anyway.

It will wear off soon enough, though I also recommend capturing a photo for posterity which you can display at her graduation and/or wedding reception.
