Today I was drawing on the white board with Fia. In the absence of any requests—a long-time favorite was “Draw a baby sun!” as in the baby sun from “Teletubbies”—I drew some waves. Then I drew a boat on the waves.
Fia came over to inspect it. “Put Daddy. And Mommy. And Sophia.”
“Anybody else?”
This seemed to stump her.
“Simon?”
She nodded. “Put Simon.”
I dutifully drew all crew members on deck.
“Okay, now draw the shark underneath the boat.”
Hmmm. The…shark?
“The shark’s going to swim up to the boat and eat everyone up.”
I’m beginning to see why parents everywhere worry about what their kids seem to get into when the parents aren’t around. Where did she learn about sharks? That they swim under boats? That they eat the people on the boats?
Okay, maybe Sophia is a little smarter than I’ve given her credit for, and trust me: I’ve given her plenty of credit.
at least she didn’t say “Yeah, this is the part where they Jump the Shark…”
That’s too cute! Has she seen any Broadway yet? Try explaining THAT one! lol!
be thankful she didnt get it from a real life senario! JK!
Did she know how to draw the shark?
If she didn’t im like a professinal drawer so anytime you have trouble drawin somethin just tell and ill make you such a good drawer!!1
