Will has been quite the artist in the last year. He learned how to pretty much color within the lines by 3 ½. He will spend the majority of his free time sitting at the kitchen table drawing, coloring, cutting and taping. He also has quite the imagination with some of the things he draws. A few days ago, he proudly showed me this picture. I said, “Oh this is cool, can you tell me who all these people are?” I thought I already knew and expected the dark one with what looked like 7 heads was going to be some crazy monster amongst us that Will and Daddy would protect us from. Before you look at the picture, let me also tell you that we had our air ducts (vents) cleaned out a couple weeks prior to when Will drew this picture.
Will tells me who the people are (from right to left):
Wyatt (obvious)
Will (obvious)
Air Duct Cleaner Guy (huh? How did he make the picture?)
Mommy (WHAT?!!!!????)
Daddy (pretty obvious)
Assuming he had pointed to the wrong ‘object,’ I said, “Oh yeah the air duct cleaner guy…the one with all the stuff coming from his head like the spinny thing he used to clean the ducts?”
“No, mommy, that’s you…THIS is the air duct cleaner guy” as Will points to the normal looking person to the right of the crazy looking person.
I said, “What? Why does mommy have 7 heads and 6 legs?????”
“Those aren’t heads, mommy, those are ‘shooter guys’”
Well, at least it’s sunny out in his picture!
