This morning, my husband started scribbling on the newspaper with a pencil. Of course, as soon as he saw me watching, he stopped. You see, he's one of those Grownups Who Does Not Draw. Yes, right here under the same roof! It's like, a National Geographic special where the camera crew didn't even have to leave the building to get the shot of the rare species.
So, I made a request for one of his Carrot People. He's been drawing these for as long as I have known him, which is a pretty long time.
Just look at these! It's a carrot and a turnip. They have so much personality! I happen to really like the person who drew them, but they have a unique look. Like, where he puts the face on the carrot, down low like that. He's always drawn them that way.
People Who Do Not Draw make the greatest drawings! They are so full of personality. Without even trying.
I just love people's drawings.

This sounds like my family. My husband insists he can't draw, while my daughter and I are drawing all the time. And then he suddenly picks up a pencil, and leaves us astounded.
And I love the way I can communicate with a shy child by just offering a pencil and paper, and starting a sketch in one corner. Pretty soon we meet halfway, and I don't mean just on the page.
