Our seven year old daughter’s report card came in yesterday (Math – satisfactory; Vocabulary – excellent; Handwriting – atrocious; Yep, that’s my daughter). They draw pictures on the covers themselves.
For some reason, MilliCal drew a picture of People in a Retirement Home Watching Frankenstein, and labeled it so.
They’re gathered around in Big Comfy Chairs wayching it on TV. It’s the Boris Karloff version, and you can see him throwing person (going, “Aaaaaa!”) into the water.
I have no idea where this came from. We certainly haven’t been to a retirement home recently (or in ages). we haven’t watched any version of Frankenstein in a long time. I’m reasonably certain she’s never seen people in a retirement home watching Frankenstein.
Puppies or Flowers or Barbies or even Dinosaurs I can understand. But my daughter has leapfrogged all that kid stuff and has gone straight to Studies from Life.
where the hell did I get this kid?
We’re long past that. After we visited DisneyWorld a couple of years ago and saw the exhibit in EPCOT on Where You Come FRom she emerged with a distracted look on her face – all that stuff about sperm and eggs just flabbergasted her, and she developed a deep interest in Sex – not in the male and female coupling part, but the microscopic details. She has a library on this now, and I think she can give lectures.
When my daughter was still very young (maybe about 5,6,7) somewhere around there anyway; she drew a picture that still cracks me up.
She drew this picture while at daycare (thank goodness it wasn’t at school). At any rate, as soon as I opened the door at daycare the provider (who is an absolutely wonderful and loving person) starting cracking up. She was in tears she was laughing so hard! She could not stop laughing. I’m looking down at my zipper, check, it’s closed. No smudges on my face; hair looks reasonable, I couldn’t figure out what was going on.
Finally, she calmed down slightly and took me into her family room where she took out the picture my daughter drew that day.
Yup, she had titled it "Mommy and Daddy Watching TV in Bed.
There were the hubby and I in bed watching TV, with the blankets pulled up about chest level, except…my boobies were on the OUTSIDE of the blankets. My daughter was quite the little artist. She included nipples and everything. She had appropriately shaded various skins tones, it was good!
I was somewhat mortified, but really, it was just too funny not to crack up. At least she drew it at daycare, not school. I can imagine the call from the teacher now…
