So, back at the age of 3 1/2, she drew this picture of a cat. She very carefully pointed out everything she included when she showed it to me.
Yes, that is one scary-a$$ cat. She ought to sic THAT on the Big Bad Wolf. Click for big.
She carefully pointed out the ears, eyes, nose, whiskers, mouth, teeth, tummy and two legs.
When I asked here where the other two legs were (I mean with such exacting attention to detail, what was up with only two legs??), she sighed, barely suppressed an eye-roll and explained slowly, as though I were a backwards child needing extra time to comprehend a new and difficult concept, while flipping the paper over:
Now THAT'S logic! Kids seem to have a better grasp on things that we may overlook.
ReplyDeleteThat kid is smart as a whip, even at her age.
ReplyDeleteIn contrast, I was 17, drinking Colt 45 malt liquor and watching the Flintstones on the tube.
You ought to get her some clay and let her work in 3 dimensions, since she's already thinking in them.
