Une Artiste

Blythe did some chalk art in the driveway the other day.  Kent thought a drawing looked like a rabbit, so he asked Blythe to tell him about what she had drawn.  She said, "It's a bunny rabbit, Dad," in a tone of voice that said, "Duh!"  She pointed out the ears and the eyes, the legs and its "feets."  Here is her drawing.

When Brandt saw this, he wondered where the rabbit's body was.

Blythe had done a second drawing and told Kent all about it too.  She pointed out the moon (easily recognizable) and said, "It's a strong lady."  As Kent looked more closely, he could see her eyes.  He pointed down the long line to the amorphous mass at the bottom and asked, "Now what is this?"

She said, "Her feets," again with the intonation that implied anybody with two eyes could see that.  Even though we are her parents and think Blythe is extraordinary, you gotta admit these are pretty great drawings for a just turned three-year-old.
