Another Masterpiece: Welcome to our family.


Last weekend Taylor and I went out to a concert for date night and left the kids at my parents house. The next morning Abby pulled this most wonderful drawing out of her bag for us. This is a picture of our family, or future family I guess. (Now-a-days, family portraits can only be found with a new little baby.) Looks like a typical drawing any 5 year old would do...right? Well, why don't you go ahead and read the conversation bubbles she added.

Hmmm... lets see... there is Abby saying "Hi friend, will you dye Easter eggs with me?"(Writing help on this one courtesy of grandma, of course.) You can see me, saying, "Hi" to everyone. On the far right there is Parker saying, "I love you." followed by the baby, exclaiming, according to Abby, "Come here, mama!" Now go ahead and look at the tall guy, yes, Taylor. What does his convo bubble say? Written in Abby's own handwriting I see, a "L" "O" "S" "E" and a "R". Yep, that spells "LOSER." Yes, what a great family portrait.

When we questioned the artist about her choice in words, she said with a chuckle, "Well, that's what dad always says." Well, there you go. At least we are accurate. Welcome to our family.

I remember Taylor always saying that. I can still see it now. I love how little kids pick up on the way we speak. It really makes you think twice about what words to use. I love Abby
