"Mommy, I drew you a picture," Virginia said.
"Oooh, gimme."
"What do you see?"
"Umm. That's me? Right? Big head?"
"Yes!"
"Annnnd....that's Devon, with a game controller in his hand. You with a book."
"Yes! Good, Mommy! What else?"
"That's...is that Chris?"
She looked at me like I was stupid. "No, silly. That's Harmony. In this picture, Chris is outside mowing the lawn because he doesn't want you to get all yelly."
"Why is she bigger than everyone else?"
"She just is."
"She looks like Shrek. And what is all that brown stuff under her?"
"Poop."
I looked at her, eyebrow cocked.
"What?" she asked. "She poops a lot."
"Oh. Ok. Wait a minute...why don't I have any lips? You have lips. Devon has lips."
"My picture, Mommy. My world."
"But I want lips," I whined.
She snatched the picture out of my hand with a harrumph of disgust. "Perspective, Mom. It's all about perspective."
On that note, here's my new giveaway: a $25 gift e-certificate for www.crayola.com. Leave a comment if you're interested and I'll pick a winner Saturday morning, this time, since I'm putting it up so late.
Good luck!
I'm Taking the Challenge!
About Me
- Crystal
- I have a girl, Virginia, who is nine and a boy, Devon, who is seventeen and baby Harmony is not such a baby anymore...she's turning 3.
Some people overeat, some binge drink. Me? I overshare. If you don't know how I broke my pubic bone already, you will if you keep reading. Emesis basin, anyone?

Love crayola.com and of course the kids do too! Love the perspective message about the "abstract". Funny what kids see and think! Have a great weekend and Easter!
Haha. It's too true, it is all about perspective!
Coloring relaxes me when I'm stressed.
I. Have. Been. Stressed.
Mags from TX
A teacher can always use more crayons!
Lips, who needs lips?? When Chris is done with your lawn will you send him to mine?
Love the convo with the child.. it's too funny!
I'm thinking she didn't give you lips so you wouldn't get all "yelly" if Chris doesn't cut the grass right.
We love crayola at my house!!
OOH! Sign me up too! My kids need something (besides sharpies) to color on my walls with.

Holy rusted nails batman CRYAONS?!! SIGN me up! My 2 yr old LOVES to color... On my walls none the less, i wouldnt mind adding some new colors to make my walls look more... abstract. lol
Take care Crystal! Thanks a bunch!
My 6 year old can never eat, I mean use enough crayons!
Coloring helps me deal with stress. I colored through both of my labors with my children. Funny I have been coloring ever since...
$25 worth of crayola products has to be a party.
I would give you lips :)
oooh, coloring!!! *grabs at crayons* gimme gimme! I hoard crayolas
Ahhhh coloring.... good for the soul....... LOL...... YAY! gimme gimme! my kids would have a ball trying to get all those new art supplies away from me LMFAO
Ooh!! Ooh!! My kid would love more Crayolas. We got him those washable ones, didn't pay attention and all of a sudden he looked like he had been doing something naughty with a Smurf...
My daughter loves coloring more than anything else.
Ooh, I'm interested! Belgium has sucky crayons.
Your kid is just too cute and too smart. LOL
My perspective is...I want crayons!!!!
Way ahead of her time, that girl. Waaaaay ahead...
Would love to be entered in the crayola drawing - thanks!
I color inside the lines!!!!
Oh, I'm interested. Am I allowed to enter?
Ooooh, LOVE that Crayola foam stuff. Doesn't leave half as much of a mess as Playdoh does! I'd love to get in on the contest!
My kids love to color (and so do I)! Sign me up.
If mommy doesnt have lips she cant yell! dont you get it???
*giggle*
I love crayons - they don't dry up and leave you hanging. Also, do they have interesting names like your last gift?
And I promise I'll always draw lips.
OMG there are peeps like me who STILL enjoy coloring? It is so relaxing and makes me feel like a kid. I am not a freak! YAY! One question, though - why is it so F'ING hard to find nice, fat INTERESTING coloring books? Remember those? With Bugs Bunny, Barbie, etc. Why can I only find 12 page thingys that have a block to color - suitable for a toddler? Crayola should make coloring books! I have loved their 64 box of wonders since I was a kid...
My kids love to color - happy easter!
My 7yo, much like Virginia, loves to share HER perspective with me, the dog, and the entire rest of the world! So, me please?

Oooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhh! Crayola. I loves me some crayola! Fun, fun, fun.
Your kid obviously got your smarts (and your smart-assness)!
Oh yeah, arts and crafts!!
Crayola brings out the kid in me. And I wish they had things like a Sidewalk Paint Sprayer when I was young. All we had was crayons!
I wanna color too!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ooooh, pick me!! If I win, can I keep the nice shiny pointy NEW crayons all to myself for a change?
Virginia cracks me up.

My boss let his son use the PRISTINE Crayolas (a 64-box, no less) on my desk, and the little bastard BROKE THE RED ONE.
Need I say more?
Dude, do you have any idea the use I could get out of that cert for my Cub Scout den? We've put a hurtin' on the crayons we had at the start of the year, not to mention the abuse they've received from my kids. It totally wouldn't hurt my feelings if, you know, picked my name. Just sayin'.
My daughters LOVE to color so sign me up, please!
Ooh, me! I love coloring!
Woot for coloring!! :)
Oh me!
Pick me, Pick me, Pick me!!!
Donkey lover here!

The dog keeps eating the crayons. Could certainly use some more.
Dude, Crayola rocks. Except for their Color Wonder Fingerpaint. Sign me up!
Mabe if my kids learn to draw they can stop drawing blood from one another!
I am also a "kid" who still loves to color. My 2 year old breaks the crayola's and I find myself hiding them from him now. I know, but I couldn't share them in kindergarten either, what are ya gonna do?
I would love to have some new Crayola, then son can have all his broken ones back!!!
Mandy in MN
Yessss!!! I can get a new box of crayons. My nieces found my good ones and broke most of them.
Oh my kids would just be thrilled with this, they love art time!
My Son draws lines and calls them mommy. At least you get a big head.
Sign me up! You can't ever have enough Crayola products floating around the house!
Woo hoo! I luv to color. Add me to the contest.
I wanna color too, but I would so give you the lipsthat you deserve!!
I want to spend money on crayons!
Now your talking Crayons! Count me in!
Love the atrist!
From the mouths of babes. LOL I know my godson loves to draw. HIs birthday is at the end of the month and that gift certificate would be a nice present. Hope you and the family have a great poop-free easter!
LOts of love Danyal
I would love some new crayons the only color my daughter will let me use are the ones she doesn't like.
Shelly
We're still in the occassional eating stage, so more crayons are always needed!
Gotta love "perspective"! Have a great Easter.
Hey, my little 8 yr old is a budding artist, he loves him some crayola!
Incoherently Lucid
yesh! coloring. my 4 y/o loves to color on my walls, and laundry basket, his sister, and the tv...oh and the computer monitor......
I think.... I love coloring more than my 10 year old and 8 year old daughters. I just bought a new Pirate coloring book and I have to beg to use "their" crayons.
