Why I no longer carry Sharpies.

When I worked in the lab, I always had a steady stream of Sharpies in my pocket.  Nothing was better for writing on so many different surfaces.  My friend and lab manager, Amy shared my excitement when we got new colors and when the retractable ones came out… But, (luckily) these days my Sharpies have been replaced with washable markers.  I should have known that something was up when Ava answered, “…I’m not finished yet, I’m practicing my As.”
