Kid art makes me happy. I mean, who else but a 3-year old would figure out a way to make Violet from The Incredibles look like a character from The Princess and the Frog?

Trippy.

Recently Alexis came home from school with this masterpiece:

Of course, I immediately asked, "What is that?" I really didn't know.

The artist was a little offended that I needed to ask. She sighed, rolled her eyes at my stupidity, and then said, "It's you and my friends." The word, "Duh" was implied, but not actually spoken.

"Oh," I said. I found the explanation even more confusing than the picture because, uh, what's up with my nose?

Oink? Oink.

I won't even address the 82354609134 other things that are horribly wrong with that depiction of me. Nothing about it is flattering, that's for sure.

Then there is "the friends." I was going to ask what is up with the circles on their bodies, but I was afraid the answer was going to be even more disturbing than anything my imagination could come up with.

I'm just going to go with cow udders. So, uh, moooo.

I looked at that particular piece of art for days trying to decipher all the mysteries it holds. DAYS. And then I noticed it:

The sun. THE SUN LOOKS LIKE A SUN! Suddenly, I don't really care that my kid thinks I have a pig nose and an booty wider than a semi, SHE CAN DRAW THE SUN!

The only question is, how did she learn what it looks like? It's not like she sees it all that often in Pittsburgh.
