Had a chat with my 8 year old nephew about his 'art' and it hit me different
He showed me this drawing he did at school where the sun was crying and had teeth, and I started to critique it before I stopped myself. He just grinned and said 'it's happy because it's weird, aunt Stella'. Made me realize I've been way too serious about my own bad midnight sketches, like that lumpy cat I drew on a napkin last Tuesday. Has anyone else had a kid totally reframe how you see your own messy drawings?

Wait, the sun had teeth AND was crying? That is something else. I think I would have been too busy trying to figure out what kind of dream that came from to even think about critiquing it. That kid has a better eye for interesting pictures than most adults I know.

Yeah, just let them run with it? Always works for me.
