Recently, my daughter turned seven and we had a birthday party for her.  A few of her school friends were able to make it, and we had a great little party.  When it was time for gifts, our neighbor, a fellow classmate of my daughter, gave a picture she drew in place of a card.  It was viewed and tossed to the side since everyone was dying for her to open gifts.  Once the chaos died down, I went back through and look at the cards she received.  This little seven year old girl drew this image:

I immediately showed my husband who raised his eyebrows for a moment and enjoyed a good laugh with me.  I love the fact that we can share these little things together.  It always baffles me what kids come up with, and after being a parent for the past seven years, little surprises me.  This will be a drawing I hold on to for my daughter since I’m sure in another ten years, I’ll pull it out and we’ll both enjoy a good laugh about it!
