I walked upstairs today and encountered this . . .
In case you’re having trouble making it out, I’ll get in a little closer . . .
And in case you’re not familiar with 6 year old boy printing, I’ll translate. It clearly states “No Girls”.
And, since I am The Only Girl here . . . I suppose that would be a picture of me. Please excuse my freakishly large hands. Remember – I am the mother of Edward Scissorhands after all.
Clearly he’s trying to keep ME out. In my own house. I suppose he’s just trying to be polite and subtle about it by not specifically mentioning my name. He’s very diplomatic. And creative.
But I get his point.
I’m trying not to be offended.
It’s not really working.

When I first came herd I said “This is an opportunity to understand the horrible things we did to mum as kids”
yeah, this is one of them.
Now I feel bad.

Banana just flew out of my mouth. Awesome. Did he draw capris on you? I’m trying to make out what the rectangles are around your knees.

Cher says: Yes, they could be capris – which I do heavily favour in the warmer months. But I’m thinking they could also be chaps, or gun holsters. Two items that he favours.

But that flip hairstyle you’ve got going on in the picture isn’t all that bad. Very Carol Brady gone ’90s.
———-
Cher says: okay, my hair does actually flip out. What are you getting at? That my son must be a really good artist to depict me so accurately, or that I’m living in the past? Nevermind. I think I can answer that myself.

HILARIOUS!!
You HAVE to save, frame etc this and then wrap it up and give it to him for Christmas one year- after he’s married!
Thanks for stopping by Pajamas and Coffee and all the very best to you in 2010!!

oh, it’s only natural! They like to stamp their territory in any small way they can. It’s like a tom cat marking the walls.
we let them have their gestures!

Your header or background is different, hmmm… looking snazzy over here.

Hmmm…that is very cute. Right now Mark has on his door a big sticker that was in his las birthday card that states simply “I am 5″. Now I know what’s next.
