Happy once made a drawing for me that looked eerily like a part of his anatomy. Being that he was only four, I said, "oh, I love it baby! Is it an airplane?" He looked disappointed and said no. Then I asked him, in descending order, if it was a car, a dinosaur or a bird. He grabbed it away from me and said, "No, Mommy. It's a penis. You can't have it anymore." We mailed it to GrandMere. She thinks it's a plane. It's better that way.

tooth paste art by my recently turned 3 yr old....caught him as he was 'cleaning' (aka rubbing it in) up his mess =((
My then preschooler's " I'm thankful" poster - look closely at the pictures he cut out!
My 7 year old son wanted to make sure I picked up some DRINKS on my shopping trip
This beautiful masterpiece was created by my 10 year old son. It was presented to me wrapped in a protective layer of tissue paper. I was afraid to touch it when I opened it. Even more disturbing, he was "recreating" his favorite food.. A kit kat bar and recess peanut butter cup. I like to leave it lying around for my guests to examine. :)
