Oh thank god. It wasn't a new piano.

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.

i know from personal experience where my son wrote all over tile and walls with a permanent marker (at someone else's house), toothpaste will remove permanent marker without damaging delicate paint or tile, it may work on wood as well. Try it in an inconspicuous spot.

My sister is 14 years older than I am and my brother is 10 years older than me. or there could be a lot of kids between them.

Grrrr, this is why I hate children! Don't be so quick to jump on the "parents'/OP's fault" bandwagon. Kids are capable of pulling off anything and everything within 1 minute. And God forbid you sleep til a decent hour, because your child/sibling will sleep just enough time less that it takes to cause visible destruction (like, idk, a vile haircut... not that I'm speaking from experience or anything). Granted, parents/adults need to do whatever possible to keep children away from markers/scissors/cake/soap/animals/explosives/glue/etc., nothing short of a straight-jacket will stop a child from causing destruction. I vote beating the child within an inch of his life, punishing him a la A Clockwork Orange with classical music, and hoping for the best. ;)

It's a good thing pianos are one of the only instruments that don't get better with age then.
