The Bun

When I got home from work last night Ginger showed me what she drew on her Magnadoodle. I told her it’s great and I really like it, and then I asked her what it was? She doesn’t get offended about those questions. She answered “It’s a Bun.”

She draws a lot of Suns, Peas in a Pod, Smiley Faces, Hot Dogs, the letters H, I, T, and E, and she even started on Stick Figures and Dinosaurs recently. Neither of us know what a bun with a face is, and she’s drawn several. If you ask her “What’s a ‘Bun’?” you’re going to get an answer like, “It’s a Buuuun!” as if we should know this and why are we pestering her?

So I said, “It’s a ‘Bun’?” And she said, “Yeah, it’s a Bun.” So I said “Oh, it’s fantastic, can I take a picture of you holding it up?” And she agreed.

Okay, hold it up and smile.

Good one!

“Daddy, can I take a picture of you holding it up?” she asked. “Sure,” I said.

I don't think you're pointing the camera at me.

Okay, you have to look in the screen and make sure you can see me.

Try standing back farther.

Let me try getting down farther.

Look into the screen and make sure you see everything.

Okay, that's good stand back there.

Alright, good job!

Dad’s instructions are stifling my creativity.

“I want to take a picture of Teddy Bear,” she said. “Okay,” I said.

I think she’s getting the hang of it.

“Alright, that’s enough pictures of Teddy Bear for today,” I said.
