Trying to Look Like Daddy

The other day the Gremlin decided he wanted to "look more like Daddy." This was during the course of a normal conversation (if you can have a normal conversation with a 4 year-old), and he didn't bring it up again so we thought it was not anything to think about.

Unfortunately, the mind of a child is still something we're trying to figure out, and a while later, he emerged from his room with pen marks all over his face. Each mark was a small dash, no more than a centimeter in length. All were horizontal and they were grouped mostly around his mouth, but some led back up his jaw to his ear.

The Gremlin had used a pen to draw himself facial hair.

After a short discussion where we encouraged the Gremlin to not write on himself, the Mother of the Gremlin was getting frustrated by the all-encompassing knowledge of the 4 year-old.

"But buddy, I don't even know if that will come off!" The Gremlin had already thought of this, though, and provided another classic view of the world.

"Sure it will, I just have to shave!"

  1. Yeah, he continually surprises us on how he sees the world. And how stubborn he is on that view
