that's right. there are no secrets in our house. tonight i've been going through the drawers containing art & drawing supplies. as i glanced in one of the little sketch books, i saw this quickly drawn sketch by my 7-year-old artist anna. despite the fact that it looks like the police officer is part man-part octopus (octoman?), this would indeed be me getting arrested (hence the striped prison garb) and leaving behind a crying baby.... little sister lucy i'm sure. anyway, if i were to guess when this masterpiece was created, i would say it was probably mid-january, when i received my (first EVER) speeding ticket. of course all 3 girls were in the car-- and since it involved being pulled over by a flashing police car, anna was certain i would be arrested and hauled away to jail on the spot. well, i convinced her that i was only going a little bit too fast, and that the nice police man was just kindly reminding me to drive safely-- to the tune of $165 dollars...... grr......
