For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for May 27, 2022

I would’ve thought a chocolate chip cookie.

Call Dominos

“Daddy! Thath artistic impression!”

Can you say “anthropomorphism”? Say it with me. An. Throw. Poe. More. Phism

I experienced something similar with my oldest grandson who loved to draw. I tried to be tactful at guessing what he drew and not to upset him if I guessed wrong. I’m happy to report that at 7 years old, I am able to decipher and accurately identify what he draws and he is a decent artist.

Guess what April wants for dinner tonight!!

Don’t they feed those kids at the daycare? April has got pizza on her mind, and that blonde girl looks so hungry she’s eating her rabbit’s foot!

When you make an assumption…

It’s a fire truck, done in modern art style.

He has two other kids, he should already know the rule about never guessing.

Mr. Pizza Head. Can’t you see the hero’s cape?

I see it now!

Sure, i can see that. And it’s a wonderful pizza, April.

Mothers know what to say. Be ambiguous. Let the child tell you what it is. Saves a lot of tears.

If she had said daddy is a serial killer, I’d be a bit concerned

See appo doo…daddy………….

If she can’t say the /s/ in “it’s” then she can’t say the /z/ in “pizza”. Just sayin’.

This is why I’ve learned to say, “Tell me about your picture!”

Once again we have an incongruity in April’s development. Today she’s speaking in whole sentences. Just a few days ago, she was being treated like an inarticulate infant.

At least she didn’t say it was supposed to be poop.

I hope kids don’t still do it but a long time ago they used to call classmates with severe acne, pizzaface. And after seeing someone with really severe acne I can see why. So maybe John’s confusion is excusable. (Not really)

It’s Pizza the Hut ! […and you thought she fell asleep,when you were watching “Spaceballs”.]

Well of course it is, duh. lol

Always first ask the child to tell you the story about their picture.

The response always is, “Tell me about your painting/drawing/sculpture.”

I just saw the episode of “Black-ish” where the school was concerned about Devante. And of course Dre and Bow can’t have the one Black kid at that school being less than capable.

Looks like April has settled into daycare pretty well.

Oops, did it again. Old fumble fingers hit the message button instead of the ‘Like’ button.
