This week my kindergartener came home and showed me what she has been working on in school. I LoVe to go through my kid’s coloring pages! I enjoy studying their ‘art’ work.
It’s like staring at a distorted Van Gogh.
What really takes skill and proficiency is deciphering the sentences they’re learning to write – sometimes it’s harder than reading Morse code.
My daughter showed me her ‘book.’ Allow me to introduce you to my family…as seen through the eyes of a 5 year old...
This is my daughter. She appears to have been born with Elephantitis and lobster claws for feet. The condition apparently afflicts only one leg. Oh- and dinosaur fins for arms.
It must have been an incurable birth defect...
She also seems to have a severe outbreak of chicken pox on her stomach, and what looks like leprosy overtaking her face and extending to the opposite side of her head…
This is our family. Mom, dad, the kindergartener, and her older sister…all appropriately named. The fifth person (the pink one) is unidentified.Hmmm…we apparently forgot to name her and put it on the birth certificate…
In my kindergartener’s family portrait, we are completely missing the sixth person in the family. The poor kid must be so neglected, my kindergartener just forgot the baby existed.
This picture tells me that the hidden portrait of my baby, (who is next to the ‘pink’ kid) has super natural powers of invisibility…but miraculously appears when a poopy diaper needs to be changed.
I need to tap into his invisibility powers and try that on myself…
…And we live in the house Bigfoot built….
This is our pet, Ella. I thought it was a cat. I didn’t know we owned a rare, endangered pet hippo…that looks like it has a severe case of gangrene…
It’s rough when your best friend is a conjoined twin who owns a pet spider, like the one in Lord of the Rings, who captures unsuspecting friends and spins them into a spider sack.I don’t think I like the way these girls play…especially looking at the demonic glee on their faces, while their friends are frowning.
I may have to talk to her friend’s mother...
Let's take A closer look…
Our daughter grew. Her elephantitis cured itself, her dInOsAur fins disappeared and she matured. She met a wonderful man. They have much in common. They garden together by trimming the bushes and cutting each other’s hair...
My daughter married and became the MRS. Edward Scissorhands…
