Classic Aiden

Aiden often asks me to draw things for him, and since I have no artistic ability at all, the results are always interesting. This morning's theme was numbers. Some people might think that you don't need art skills to draw numbers, but they would be wrong.

First, Aiden tells me which number I should draw. Then he calmly tells me that the number needs eyes, mouth, and feet. (Thank you Math Circus!) This morning, I was asked to draw 1, 2, 5, 3, 0, and 4 (in that order). I thought the results were pretty good.

Then he threw in a new hitch; each number needed arms! After drawing arms on all the numbers, he told me that each number needed a baby. With a little more questioning, be told me that the 2 needed a baby 2, the 1 needed a baby 1, etc.

This explains why I never seem to get anything done around the house!
