A couple of months ago I wrote a post about the fact that my daughter just doesn’t seem to like me.* The following picture was the prime piece of evidence:
This is the actual picture my daughter turned in to her teacher. The teacher was either kind enough (or morel likely embarrassed enough ... for me) to never mention anything about this.
My daughter brought her Mom, bed, dresser, stuffed Olaf, and her brother (who she believes is the meaniest meanie who ever meaned). What didn’t she bring?
Me.
After speaking with my daughter and convincing her that the reason I was missing was because I was off finding a boat to save the family, I thought I was in the clear. I was confident that this would be the last drawing that would make me want to cry.
I was wrong!
At least for the previous picture, I was only being forgotten. Little did I know that she was only getting started. MJ's next creation was far worse.
One morning, I woke up to find this drawing strategically placed on the living room table:
Ok so she may want to hang me, I get that... but I'm missing an eye and have no hands or feet!
How angry is she?
Was this a threat? A fantasy? A premonition?
Or maybe this was the reason why I never made it to that island…
I still haven't worked up the courage to ask her to explain this one. But I do sleep with my one (and apparantly only) eye open now.
Does anyone else have any funny kids drawings or stories about them to share?
*For the record, I do know that my daughter loves me very much. She just loves my wife a LOT more... which is understandable.
