forty-years-old & I draw a gown for the first time swirls-memories-tunnel plastered with faded childhood scratchings of monster-guns-vomiting-laser beams of sunshine caress-her-soft cheeks & eager- face it, man, those days ended when the boss was born nearly six years ago.


Ben, please explain.
First of all, did you really draw that? if so, wow!
My daughter asked me to draw a picture of a ball gown for her to color in – that’s not something I’d ever done before, but I gave it a go.
Impressive to you for pulling that off, and to her for filling in the gaps. She’s good.
Actually, I haven’t posted her coloring, but now that you mention it, I will do that too.
Please do.
You did double great then ๐
just did!
Aww. what a sweet thing to do with your daughter.
father-daughter bonding ๐ณ
Absolutely! Enjoy it while it lasts, because they grow fast and move on to grown up stuff — solo!

I am glad you posted it, your post is now complete. ๐
you’re right – I was totally remiss not to include the final product!
I just noticed she colored the mannequin too. Bless her.
and she’s planning on giving it to a friend of hers, of her own volition ๐
Haha. Expect this to continue …
Good one! God bless you and your daughter!!
thank you ๐
I think you really delivered. Was the boss impressed?
she pretended to be pleased for my sake ๐คก

Nope – that’s not me, sorry ๐
Didn’t we exchange e-mails once? I thought you had my e-mail address.
No I haven’tโฆ I was expecting it from you because I wanted to sign the petition but I never got it (perhaps I should check the binโฆ)
