Every school day my son requests his doodle...the one I draw on his snack bag. At times elaborate, whimsical, topical, but mostly just whatever he is into at the moment. I am NOT an artist, but indulge this request each day for fun. This is a daily musing about his requests.

Ahoy Me Hearties
In other words, good day my friends. Yep, we're feeling pretty piraty today...and hey, it's Friday. Swashbuckling fun is totally allowed - I highly recommend it is adopted by all. Conversation this morning went something like this: "Can you draw a skull & crossbones?" Sure, I say. "But you know Oscar, that means poison if left on its own. I'm thinking labeling your snack this way is not a great idea." "Then don't give me blueberry muffins." What? (Oscar really doesn't like these, yet I refuse to ignore them in the cabinet...apparently they are poisonous) "Uh, how about I draw a pirate ship?" I'm sure you can envision the delighted look on his face. I mean pirates - who wouldn't be happy with this? I get busy...and voila. One pirate ship. "Is it a ghost pirate ship? If it is it needs holes in it. And some ghosts." I think we need to settle for garden variety pirates today, I tell him. We're running a bit behind schedule. He's cool with this, as long as I promise to make good on it another day, and if I speak only in pirate lingo until we get to school. Blimey, I say. Happy weekend xoxo
