Yesterday, Roo came home from preschool with an awesome picture that she presented to me. The picture itself was spectacular. The thinking behind the picture was beautifully creative. I immediately wanted to share it with the world. Matt wanted to share it with the world too. We had a conversation about the picture that went like this:
Matt: I'm putting this on Facebook.
Me: NO! I was going to put it on the blog. If you put it on Facebook, our mutual friends will see it and that'll ruin my blog post.
Matt: Instagram, then? I'll put it up on Instagram.
Me: Okay, you get Instagram and I get the blog. No Facebook. Deal.
It crossed my mind that there was something wrong with that conversation, but then I pushed the thought aside because OH MY WORD, GUYS! LOOK AT THIS:
Roo drew us a picture of a farting unicorn battling a cyclops. Those are her words. That's how she explained it. And then she wrote "I heart You" across the top in the clouds. Now, I can understand why you all may not be impressed, but I have to tell you- the fact that one of my kids drew a mythical creature fighting another mythical creature, and then made one of those mythical creatures gassy, and then said to themselves "Hmmmm, this picture adequately expresses my love for my parents! I think I'll let them know it!" and then proudly presents that picture to us at home, well..... it tickles me to the core. It gives me butterflies. I'm not even being sarcastic. I can honestly say that Roo's farting unicorn warms my heart.
Farting unicorns warm my heart, and I'm sharing it with the world.
I realize this may be an "obnoxious parent-moment". Thanks for being a part of it.
