Hadley is getting cocky about her artistic prowess and who can blame her? She can out-draw me anyday.
So, when she started taunting she could draw a better peacock, I challenged her to a peacock dual. Mine:
And I’m pretty darn proud of it because I was sorely tempted to do a Google image search. I mean, what colors are peacocks really? How many feet do they have?
Then Hadley’s:
Actually, this isn’t her best one. As an overachiever, she made two drawings and gave the better one to her teacher. Basically, she blew me out of the water.
Of course, I wanted to cover my bases in our little dual.
Me: “If I win, you owe me a back massage.”
Her: “OK, what if I win?”
Me: “You still owe me a back massage.”
Her: “MOMMMMMY!”
Me: “Look at it this way: It’s a win-win situation.”
For me, at least.
