Our 6 year old daughter, MilliCal, continues to amaze me.
We were waiting to order at a restaurant last night, and she cwas drawing on the back of the menu with her crayons. She’s become obsessed with my Mad magazine collections lately (even though she doesn;t get most of the jokes), and she started drawing her own version.
She wrote Friends at the bottom of the page, then drew Phoebe with her long blonde hair and Joey sitting in his lounger. Each had word balloons coming out of their mouths (although I can’t remem,ber what she had them saying), and she labeled them both.
“Look, I drew a parody!” she proclaimed. ([B}Pepper Mill** watches Friends every Thursday, so MilliCal gets to watch it, too. We usually have to answer a battery of questions during the course of the show.)
She really does amaze me. Stuff like this makes up for her countless excuses and subterfuges not to go to bed on time. Almost.
