I suppose it’s only fair that I should join in, having laughed at appreciated the others so much. This meme was started here and I was tagged by Merry. This is what happened when I asked my children to draw me. First I asked Tiddler, but he said “No, you draw me!” So that was that. Well, he is only two. Then I asked Rabbit, and she said “Can I draw daddy?” I managed to persuade her to draw me in the end. It was touch and go. She started several attempts and threw them away, so I thought she was going to give up but in the end she drew this. She even asked me what colour I would like my dress to be. I think I could live with looking like that.

Monkey and Owl took it very seriously and spent a long time observing me carefully. Which meant Supergirl had to start cooking the supper without me in the end as it was getting rather late and every time I tried to move one of them shouted “Stand still!” They both drew me in the clothes I was actually wearing, which were (as always) jeans and a hooded sweatshirt. I was impressed by their attention to detail. Monkey asked me to take off my patterned slippers (too difficult to draw) so he could draw my socks instead. I did try to explain artistic license, but he wasn’t interested.

When I told Owl the title of the meme, he said “How I see you is with Tiddler clinging to you, which happens quite a lot.” Poor boy. It made me want to go and cuddle him, but I wasn’t allowed to move.

I will have to try this with my children. A few months ago my 3 year old drew me and it looked very much like a mushroom, lol.
