leading up to saint patricks day levi came home from school with "homework".
he had to draw a picture of what he would do if he found a pot of gold. we discussed it, and he was unclear about the actual function of a pot of gold. or, why a pot of gold would be so desirable.
after i explained it, i asked again, "sooooo....what would you do if you found a pot of gold?"
"i would buy a dog."
...
...
...
as much as i wanted to criticize this small-pot-of-gold-dream, i held my tongue. "ok, well, draw a dog then." clearly we need to work on expanding our dream base.
within a few minutes he was upset. the dog he had drawn looked like a cow. i told him maybe it was just a tall dog. tears were shed. and then some more tears. he could NOT take that to school.
lecture about the worth of those specific tears was provided. he didn't argue me, but he also didn't move from the chair. he just stayed still, holding his square yellow cardstock, staring at it. after a few minutes, he dejectedly conceeded,
"i guess i can just get a cow with my pot of gold...."
in the end he decided that if he wrote "dog" on the picture, it would definitely clear up any confusion about its cow-esque appearance.
my favorite part was the last minute "checkmark" added to the end. as if to make it MORE firmly a dog. checkmarks are powerful that way....
No person deserves your tears, and who deserves them won't make you cry.
