The Scratch

Caitlyn likes cords and she can't keep away from the computer ones. I was always scared she'd pull the one connecting to the lamp and bring it crashing down.

When the lamp fell, Caitlyn wasn't anywhere near the computer. The irony. My huge LCD screen was left with a large scratch running down the middle. Panic overtook me cos replacing it was out of the question. I would have to accept it.

I didn't have many hopes in finding any home solutions on Google but I gave it a go anyway. The first result promised that some Vaseline would fix the problem. That sounded simple but I didn't have any at home. Scrolling down the page, someone recommended using a standard pencil eraser on the scratch. I decided I had nothing to lose and tried it. Magically, the scratch disappeared!!! Who knew the humble eraser could perform such miracles!
