This is our new seat cover for the desk/extra table chair:
I had a simple idea in mind, one that I didn't think would pose any problems. I asked Rhys to draw a family portrait on the white cover (in fabric markers), with the intention that this chair would then be a cute, story-worthy piece of furniture that would be unique and loveable. Well, it's unique. Here's the narrative (paraphrased): The big blue guy is Daddy. His mouth is going, "Aaahhh." Here's the asteroids coming to Earth, 1, 2, 3 [the pink, purple, and black scribbles with red fire lines showing they're falling from the sky]. Here's Mommy standing on top of the Evil sign. E is for Evil. Mommy and Alanna are red. They don't have faces. Alanna has short legs. The two robots are evil guys holding Daddy's arms and they live back behind the Evil sign. This is me [in yellow]. I'm wearing green armor all over my body and my head.
So. A family portrait. Illustrated by a Boy brain.
I wonder what color Rhys's brain is? And mine? I don't know if I want to ask him to elaborate on his theory...
I guess the chair is story-worthy, too.

AAAHHH!
This probably has something to do with the apocalyptic dinosaur death saga we checked out from the library. It involved asteroids and meteors, too.
Yeah, that's what I figured. But where do the evil robots come from? And why does he know that E is for evil??
This made me laugh so hard everyone in my office asked me if I was "okay"
:)
I'm glad someone else thinks these things are funny. I think the stuff my kids say and do is hilarious, but others might think they're weird or disturbed... Or maybe I'm the one with a weird sense of humor! Thanks for checking in! I'll let Rhys know you saw the picture he drew; he'll be so thrilled!
