This one is all yours
Nothing sharp, nothing hot, nowhere far. Tell someone what you're up to, then go ahead and do it on your own.
Why that works
Crayon is wax and wax repels water. Paint on its own would bead up and slide off, but the dish soap lets the paint spread over the wax. It never soaks in, though, so a toothpick can scrape it right off again.
Lambton County twist
Grand Bend faces west, making it a favourite Lambton County sunset spot.
