Preschoolers, artwork, and nekkidness

A quick (and 100% true) story:

 

 

My daughter made a beautiful piece of art in school yesterday (yes, I know…every kid makes 'beautiful' art in preschool). It was one of those cool art projects that I can remember doing and being excited about when I was in preschool 522 years ago. Remember these: you would draw a picture with wax crayons on a large piece of construction paper and then paint over it with black paint and voila! I LOVED doing those. I digress.

She was very proud and anxious to show her daddy. My husband was a little late getting home last night and a lot grumpy when he did get here. Therefore the gleeful moment of the great reveal did not happen yesterday. But it did this morning. I promised her she could show it to daddy after she finished eating her breakfast. She shoveled her meal in like I shovel popcorn in at the movies and ran upstairs to tell Daddy, who was getting ready for work.

 

DAUGHTER:  "Daddy, Daddy…. look what I made! It's a black art with circles! Isn't is so pretty?!"

HUSBAND:  "WOW baby! That is really cool. How did you make it?"

DAUGHTER:  "Well, I drew these pretty circles and then Kelly (art teacher) helped us paint over it with black paint. We put it on the drying rack and when we came back after playtime, look how it turned out!"

At this point my husband attempts to give my daughter a congratulatory hug. In doing so, he gently rests the masterpiece in his nekkid lap so as to free up an arm to hug her.

DAUGHTER: "Daddy! Dont' put the art on the penis!"

 

Hysterical uncontrollable laughter. I am laughing OUT LOUD as I type this. True story. Children … they are a hoot.

I might have also ranted about this here:

    It's nice to know that she/we are not alone! We are perfectly evenly balanced here. Even down to the dogs!

    I still chuckle every time I think about the exchange. Good stuff!
  • All I can say is, "awesomeness". She's obviously learned early that nothing should touch the penis. I really like how she calls it "the penis" instead of "your penis". Makes it sound so much more regal that way. And I say it again, awesome.

    HAHAHAHAHAHA! I seriously laughed out loud at your comment. Guffawed even! I sense a new title for the 'member' in the house. This could lead to ego inflation. *sigh*
