I May Take Up Prize Fighting

My son brought home a book he made at school with some pictures inside.

This is me. I am happy, but I am also wearing boxing gloves just in case I need to knock somebody out. At least he made me skinny.

That's a very funny way of looking at the pictures. You definitely think outside the box.

Actually sounds like the same reasons my wife would give :)

Your husband's hair is FANTASTIC and you have the longest neck I've ever seen! Did he draw himself?

dang it, it's hard to type when you're laughing so hard.

but the really important thing i think you missed here is : how did you ever have children? both of you are missing those fundamental parts! and even if somewhere there was a line on your husband that i *didn't* see, with no hands

oh wait. this is a kid's picture. i forgot for a moment, as the artwork is superior to my own.

Maybe it's a metaphor...how he views you....
pretty funny though! I routinely wear my boxing gloves around the house, you never know when you're going to need to knock your neighbor out!

That is so funny. You know that they say you can analyze how children feel by how they draw. I wonder what a doctor would say about those pics ? :)

You are very limber. How do you do it? My legs would be cramping from doing the splits so long.

He's a Dali indeed.

This is my husband. I don't know about you, but I think he needs a haircut. I noticed he's missing his ears, which would explain why he never hears anything I say. Also, his lack of arms is probably why he doesn't help much around the house.

I cant, you are sofa king funny. I would have never put that together with these pictures. HYSTERICAL.

Oh and 'at least he made me skinny' also priceless....

lol - hilarious! Isn't it a trip to look at their drawings and see how THEY see US?

Of course, Dad is always the biggest one in the picture for my 6-year old.

H*ll - I'll be happy just to be IN it.

They are brilliant. When I think of you now I will always think of you with boxing gloves, and not tthat it think of your husband, but if I did, I would think of him with toilet brush hair. Sooo attractive.
