My three-year-old niece
Wants me to draw her favorite
Animal—a wolf—so I draw a wolf;
That’s nice, she says, and then asks me
To draw a boy and a girl,
So I draw a boy and a girl.
Looking at the pair and pursing her lips
In thought, she then asks me if I could please
Draw them holding swords, just in case
Her favorite is thinking
Nasty thoughts.
Truly? Or is this imagined?
ReplyDeleteEither way I am in love with your niece. What a wonderFUL mind.

True.......in a poetic sense: My wife related the story to me about a week ago--she was the one who was drawing for her niece, so this did happen. The "just in case/Her favorite is thinking//Nasty thoughts." is my imagining what was going through her mind. But you're certainly right in pointing out that she does have a wonderful mind!
