Tonight after dinner we were drawing, and Tiny asked me to draw a princess as an extension of her drawing. So I complied with the above drawing. I know. Married to an artist. And clearly no skill with a texta myself. The shame. THE SHAME.
Anyway, Tiny came over to review my drawing and looked agog and aghast. Then started screaming blue murder before careening off to her bedroom.
Ouch. My drawing was THAT bad. Who'da thunk it?
The Doctor then asked if he could have a look at it and review why Tiny was so upset about it. He promptly added in the broomstick. Made sense really.
Clearly they are NOT Louboutins. The dress is not Lanvin. But clearly my 4 year old believes I should start taking some drawing lessons pronto.
Then I had to cut off the offending princess from the rest of the drawing. Hence the above cut out. Totes awkes.
Have you ever flunked your 4 year olds art task, I ask?
Have you ever read Francesa Simon's Horrid Henry books? Well. Maybe not you, but your kids?
They are very, very good. The Doctor adores them. They are funny, and clever - and just what little people like. Humour that's totally read-able, a little bit of mischief and a few illustrations tossed in.
But did you know they made a film of Horrid Henry? Just like the books, it is super good - and stars the ever-beautiful Angelica Huston, the cerebral and stylish Richard E. Grant. It's a great film - and Tiny loves it (she's four), just as the Doctor does (he's seven) just as Matt and I both do (we're in our 30s).
The good news is I have a Horrid Henry giveaway. One that's perfect for the Winter school holidays.
There will be two winners. One winner will receive the Horrid Henry DVD and a hard cover activity book. The runner up will receive one copy of the HH DVD. All you have to do to enter is tell me in 25 words or less (and I am strict so I don't get into trouble with the law):
What was so horrid about you when you were small?
