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.
