Yesterday I was teaching Art Masterpiece to Ellie's class, and the kids had to make a scene out of shapes. So I'm looking at the scene one of the little boys made and he's telling me all about it. "Here are some boats, and here is the bridge. . . and this is a building. Where they have funerals." Definitely a unique picture. So Dustin and I were laughing at how dark and twisted it sounded coming from a 5 year old, but there was probably some really simple explanation, like he went to a funeral over the weekend. And then it made me panic for all of the things my kids have said that have a perfectly logical explanation to us, but sound weird when you're hearing them.
So one day when I was driving Ellie and her friend somewhere, her friend starts talking about cars.
"We drive a Honda and my daddy drives a Honda too. We have two Hondas." Ellie asks me what Dustin drives, so I tell her he drives a Honda. She then gets giddy becasue we have a Honda just like her friend. Then her friend pops out, "Well, you're Daddy has a Honda like my daddy, but you drive a Saturn." Ellie looks at her like she's crazy and asks, "What's a Saturn?" Her friend explains that the car we're in is made by Saturn, so we don't in fact drive a Honda. Ellie, possibly saddened by this and not wanting to be associated with something as lowly as a Saturn then says, "I don't drive a Saturn. I drive a Hummer."Ellie and Nate in their hummer

Heck ya' you do, Ellie! Rock on girl!
i drive a hummer! that's good stuff there! i taught art masterpiece for years. i loved it. my favorite thing to ask the kids at the end is if they would like to hang that particular painting in their house. one boy said he would but that his mom probably wouldn't let him as it wouldn' match anything! ha
the best art masterpiece story had to do with my training (i am sure you had it too) and this one woman raised her hand and asked why they couldn't bring anne geddes art work and pictures of unicorns. um, yeah--the title is art MASTERPIECE! LOL
