My 4-year-old was bored. He needed some entertainment. He looked for possibility from me. No chance. Busy finishing up my data-entries. Took a paper off his dad’s stack of unwanted scraps, and did this: –

Its Keatkeat’s VERY FIRST DRAWING of our family! Ermmm…there’s a few errors though….

Me: “Why is there a puppy? We don’t have a puppy in our house.”

Keatkeat shrugged his shoulders. Maybe he wanted one! Is this a hint? I chose not to ask for the fear of hearing “yes”. I used to have one and I know the commitment needed for the extra member, so its a no-no and I hate to reject him. So better not press further on that 4-legged animal.

Me: “Keatkeat, why are my hands so different from everyone else?”

Keatkeat: “Its not hands. Its wings!”

Oh my!!! Even though he knows my name is Angeline, but he doesn’t know what an angel is like, so he couldn’t be imagining me as an angel, would he?

Me: “Oh! (giggling a little) Why does Mommy have wings?”

Keatkeat: “You are like a flamingo. You can carry us on your back and we can all fly together up into the sky.”

So now I’ve become a bird……..my conclusion……….too much cartoons in his life! Still I love it. Kept it in my drawer, few years down the row, I’ll probably show it to its artist again, who may just laugh over it when he looked at it with more matured eyes….
