With marker in hand and a no-nonsense look in her dark eyes, she seeks my opinion on a serious matter (for a four year old) "Grandma, What should I draw?" "Ummmm, How about a frog?" "No, I don't do frogs but I can draw an alligator." "Okay, that sounds good and so much easier too." (smile) She gets to work and creates an alligator with character... and lots of teeth.

LOL, typical in some ways, for a four year old to ask your suggestion for a subject to draw, then reject it for one they may have had in mind in the first place. Nice snapshot, Ida. |

Yo dear Ida, Alligators are good. Don't try and fight alligators. They know what they're doing. Love Bobby |
