I came home from work the other night and found a picture on the kitchen table that Lily had drawn. She had been at pre-school in the morning and I thought she had drawn it there. After looking at the picture, I was a little concerned…
The image was of a small girl, her face contorted in obvious distress, her little round mouth turned noticeably downward. Now, keep in mind, most of the pictures they draw in pre-school are smiles, flowers, etc. So I got to wondering what could have possibly happened at school to warrant this picture. I found Lily sitting reading a book with Char. I interrupted…
“Lily, honey,” I began, treading lightly, “did you draw this picture at school today?”
“No, I drew it here with Mommy.”
Now, I felt a little better about this, but I have to admit, my curiosity is piqued. “Why is she frowning?”
“That’s Charmaine when she was sick,” Lily said.
“Ah… I see.” Then I noticed that the back was covered in multi-color lines running willy nilly all over the page, no apparent rhyme or reason. I was about to ask when Lily said…
“And on the back is after she threw up!”
Jimmy, I would have been curious too, but after her comment about the backside, I think I would have been rolling on the floor laughing..Poor Char.
