Kid stuff as rejuvenative force
Denise’s family is visiting. Her granddaughter was drawing, and I offered her $2 to draw Dixon, the family dog. She accepted the challenge but declined payment. “How about this?” I counteroffered. “You draw Dixon, and I’ll draw whatever you want, and we’ll trade.” She asked for a cute pig. I asked for the pig’s name and she said Phillip. I drew this:
She drew this, and I’d say I got the better end of the bargain:
Exchanging kid stuff proves to me that you’re NOT only a kid once. You can be a kid any time you draw pictures with another kid.


I had a big smile at the beginning, and am tremendously inspired at the end.
Thank you for this 😀
So glad you felt that way, and grateful that you told me, Lee-Ann! Many thanks!
