Red eyes

At the library after storytime the kids were encouraged to paint a picture. I was right next to Odan as he began painting. Here is our conversation...

O: "There's the head, and here are the RED eyes!"

M: "Oh wow, red eyes?"

O: "Yeah! And a red body!"

He finishes up and I say,

M: "Oh wow, Odan. Who did you paint?"

O: "That's you mom."

I looked at the mom next to me and we chuckled. I told her I wasn't sure if I was flattered to be his muse or concerned he views me with red eyes.

**Note - the watercolors were quite runny so I made sure to keep the picture level as we wandered around the library while it dried. Also I didn't want my "red eyes" to stream down and become "red eyes with red tears". That would have been a slightly more horrifying rendition.
