My daughter J brought this project home from preschool the other day. I gushed about how wonderful it was and what a great job she'd done. Then my eyes went to that thing. That "thing" next to the snowman's right arm.
"What is that?" I asked J
"It's his arm." J said matter of factly.
"But isn't this his arm here?" I said pointing to the wooden stick protruding from his body in the place one might expect an arm to be.
"Yes" she said and busied herself with something completely different seemingly to avoid any further questioning from me.
Now, is it just me...or are you seeing what I'm seeing ?
I mean he is after all a snowman, and my J well she's a smart cookie...everyday her drawings seem to get more and more accurate.
Sure "it" is not in it's usual place...but I gotta wonder
Did my sweet little princess give that snowman genitalia ?
ummmmmmmm
ReplyDeleteyeah i'm pretty sure i'd have to ask her what that is! if nothing else the conversation will be great blog material!
no, no noooooooooo...it's the snowbaby's binky.
ReplyDeleteOh Lollie, dear sweet prego Lollie. Always the voice of reason. ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks.
Well technically, we could call it a "third arm"...
ReplyDeleteNot the right answer?
Wow. I gotta say, I am at a loss. I think, though, that I'm going to agree with lollie. Yeah... binky.
ReplyDeleteMaybe it's the beginning of a J for her name and she ran out of cotton.
ReplyDeleteThis SO reminds me of the email I got where the kindegarten child drew a pair of scissors. These scissors looked EXACTLY like a male member and "two boys". Funny stuff!
ReplyDeletePS: Your comment on my post sums up why I love you so stinking MUCH!
A well placed "F bomb" is so glorious....at times! :)
I know there's a snowballs joke in this somewhere.
ReplyDeleteI love it! I can always make out genitals in my kids artwork. Maybe we should get our heads out of the gutter!
ReplyDeleteDamn, Sug - I can't believe I didn't go for the snowball joke. I'm slippin' aren't I.
ReplyDeleteHmmm. I'd be too afraid to ask
ReplyDeleteI do some painting. I recently painted a blues singer with a microphone. The microphone looked suspiciously like something else so I threw the piece away. Unfortunately, it was on an old door and I had painted a bunch of other stuff. But every single time I looked at it that's the only thing I could see. I'm 39 years old and I didn't paint a phallic microphone on purpose. I doubt your 4 year old was attempting to do anything like that either. Sometimes artistic endeavors just come out looking a little odd. Does this make you feel better? If not, go with Lollie's suggestion.
ReplyDeleteit's his third "arm"! gotta love it, that's hilarious!
ReplyDeleteAt least she didn't tell her teacher what it was. Not that my daughter did anything like that, of course.
ReplyDeletehaha they are too funny! I think you are right on. You are gonna have to watch her. ;)
ReplyDeleteLove it! Thanks for the laugh!!
ReplyDeleteyeah. it's time. lol!
ReplyDeleteI have to say I think it was inconsequential and random
ReplyDeletenoooooooooooo
dont have the talk...too soon!!!!!
Alyssa brought home a picture that looked like a stick man riding a giant pen!s. "Wow. That's pretty cool. What is of?" "Me on the bus." Ooookay. We'll save THAT one for when you're older (and will think it's hilarious as well!).
ReplyDeletewow! I thought a snowman penis would just melt right off but I see it, it's there allright!
