So I am not that great of an artist when it comes to drawing freehand, but some things aren't that hard (or so you would think). So my son is drawing illustrations for a little book that he is putting together when he asks me, "Mom, how do you draw a frog?" So I attempt to draw one. My daughter (who is 4-years-old and sitting on my lap) exclaims, "Mommy, you draw a penguin!!!" Oooookay. So I decide to try again. Once again Rebekah chimes in, "Mommy, now you draw a fish!" (Ok actually she said "pish" but you all know that that doesn't equal frog yet either.) Hmmmph! Not to be discouraged, I try again. (Mind you I am using a green marker this whole time!!!) So this time Rebekah asks, "Mommy, is that a teddy bear?" AAAARRGGGGHHH!!! (And may I add that by this time both me and my son, Joseph, are laughing our heads off.) All this time I had been trying for a sitting frog. So this fourth try is a pear shaped object with legs spread out front and back like the frog is leaping. And luckily it is close enough for, "Mommy, you draw a frog!"Finally, HAHA, my sweetheart gives me her own little stamp of approval.

I am sure your frog was adorable :) LOL!!
I can totally relate - my drawings usually don't look like the object I'm trying to draw - lol. Funny story! Sounds like you can draw ALL kinds of things, mom! :)
