Rockstar’s past school work has been coming home as he finishes books…
Me: (looking through his math exercise book) Very good darling.. Well done… Why are there so many faces?
Rockstar: You’re supposed to draw smiley face, normal or sad face depending on whether you found the work hard.
Me: And what is pig face supposed to mean?
Oink
Rockstar: <slightly huffy> It doesn’t matter as long as it’s either smiling or isn’t. The important thing is, the pig is smiling.
Me: Uh… And this toothy thing… That’s either a grinning… Or grimacing… What is this, a smiling dinosaur?
Not dinosaur meh…
(Rockstar rolls his eyes)
Me: Shark?
Rockstar: THAT’S MY GOOD FRIEND!!
Me: <defensive> How was I supposed to know, you gave him pointy teeth. I thought it was a dinosaur.
Rockstar: He was sitting next to me. I looked up and he was watching me draw faces and he said “draw me!”. And then he did this <pulls exaggerated grin from ear to ear>
Me: He has pointy teeth?
Rockstar: That’s because I was trying to be funny.
Me: Oh ok, how’s that working out for you?
Rockstar: He loved it. <shrugs> But he’s my friend so of course he loves it.
Me: And… can I assume any pigs or dinosaurs or portraits of your friends that I find in here are all going to be smiling? (i.e. he shouldn’t be doodling if he hasn’t finished/ found the work fairly easy)
Rockstar: Yeah, yeah they’re all smiling… Sheesh.
(He’s right though. To his credit they were all smiling and the work was fine.)
“Hi Daddy”
All faces will be smiling means easy! Very good and very cute doodles too.
