Art Therapy for a 5-year-old

Yesterday afternoon Maren got in trouble (an incident involving scissors and one of the throw pillows on the couch...I'll let you guess what happened) and was unhappy with her punishment, so she took out her frustration through the therapeutic medium of art. What resulted was this picture, which she intended to be titled, "NO Mommies Bossing Their Kids Around," but she didn't know how to spell the rest after NO.

When I saw what she was drawing I actually started laughing so hard that I had to leave the room. Heck, I'm laughing right now as I type this! Her depiction of me SLAYS me. Is that what I look like to her when I get mad? She got my curly hair, but I'm not so sure about the angry eyebrows and the mean monster mouth. It does remind me of someone else though...

Yup. That's it exactly.

    (Too bad about the scissors though. I try try try to keep mine all stuck way up high on a magnetic knife thing. Scissors are NOTHING but trouble.)

  3. Your Mom is a hoot. What about Maren's art from last week when she requested the proper spelling of "Illegal"? How'd that little gem turn out?

    The Bean NEVER drew a nose on my face whenever he drew me. I have stacks of drawings of me from him - no nose, no nose, no nose. But on everyone he wrote, "My Pretty Mama". So, all is forgiven.
