Budding Artist

All day today Charlie has been carrying around a pen and spiral notepad. "I drawng Mama!" he says about every 3.5 seconds. "I draw lion! I draw rhino! Look! Look! I draw camel!" I dutifully look at his completely incoherent scribbles and exclaim appreciatively over what a good drawer he is. He pushes the pad of paper over to me. "Mama, your turn! You draw alligator!" I obligely attempt the requested alligator until Charlie interrupts me: "No Mama, that not right! It needs a tail!"
