Oh yeah. And get the old snout down on the paper to enjoy the aroma.
First grade, we all got a box of Crayolas and a brand new pencil. Fat crayons with a flat side to keep them from rolling. In a box with a cover that fit on top. One of the few good memories I have of school. My teacher was ancient, she sold sandwiches at Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address.
My wife does a similar thing as Nelson. It usually starts with “Can you help me with _____?” And then I end up doing _____ while she goes off somewhere else to do something completely unrelated to ______

Nothing wrong in an adult coloring. Go on, enjoy it, Earl. :-)

Earl found his inner child. Coloring is very zen and relaxing.

Best part of coloring is eating the crayons.

Children lack perseverance, that will come later… but not for all. ;-)

Keep it in the lines, Earl!

I used to do that with my kids when they were little!

If Earl had been coloring just by himself he would have likely been at a table and in a chair.

My wife colors. She has boxes of pencils, pens and water colors. It’s what she does to relax when she can’t garden.

Every few years I buy a box of crayons for the smell, and the color.

“He did mention something about my stealing all the best crayons.”

I am surprised it’s not a Mother’s Day strip

The best thing about coloring when you’re an adult, – especially, a grandparent – is you don’t have to _stay within the lines!!

If he was there…… you’d be using that WHITE crayon – Yes, I remember..!!!! (LOL)

Nelson will definitely be a participant in the activity at some point – his help will be needed to get Earl up from the floor.

Just don’t use colourful language Earl. :-0

Earl just needs to relax and enjoy indulging his inner child — it’s what really keeps you young. No excuses required.

Coloring with my kids was pretty fun. Could not do it well as a child.
