happy Mother's day!

my daughter comes from a long line of artists. not on my side of the family of course, but artists nonetheless. when she visits with her grandparents in vermont she spends a great deal of time drawing pictures with her grandpa. as there is not much about her grandpa's influence that i appreciate, i very much encourage this activity.

i picked up baby girl from school this past week and she gave me a picture...of me! it's not that she hasn't been drawing people for sometime now, but this was the first time she ever gave me a picture of a person and said, "here mom, this is for you. it's you!" my heart melted and i felt all warm and fuzzy inside...of course as soon as we got home i hung it on the refrigerator! if you notice, i have gynormous ears, and i've always wanted tri-colored hair...i even have toes!


later that evening i overheard her showing it to her dad..."dad, did you see the picture i drew for mom? it's mom. see, there's her vagina." and yes friends, there between my legs, is in fact my vagina...she told me later that the circle above my vagina is my butt, and the one above that is my belly button. apparently i have breasts too...i've been wondering though, what happened to my fingers?!
