Okay then....try this!

my 8 year old Michael is attending an Art Camp at the Ohio Decorative Arts Center. The kids range in age from 7 to 15. They are working on a set for a play and some of them are doing the play. Michael has been having a pretty good time but it's not what he (or Karen and I) were expecting. He was hoping to do a lot more drawing. He is working away painting clouds and making flowers and such though and having a pretty decent time anyway. He's there 4 hours a day.

Last Thursday he finally had a chance to do some drawings along with some of the other kids who were out of things to do on setwork temporarily. This was the first time that anyone there had seen his drawing. When I picked him up, Trish, the head honcho pulled me aside and quite enthusiastically said, "Michael is quite an artist!"

I agreed but with the disclaimer that I was his Dad and not a casual observer. She then told me that she thought she would use one of his drawings for the cover of their play program!!! Michael was pretty cool about it but Dad was stylin' and profilin' back to the van.......Yes..Yes..Yes!!!!!!!
