After dinner last night the kids told me to lay down on the driveway so they could draw the outline of my body with chalk.

I guess I could have questioned whether they planned to kill me and save the police the hassle of outlining me later but I was tired and the thought of laying down anywhere was appealing and worth the risk.

There were a couple of interesting questions as they took turns with the chalk.

1. Have your thighs always been this big or are you growing them?

2. Can I draw a zipper even though you aren’t wearing a zipper? I’m just getting really good at drawing zippers? Or a scar, do you want a scar?

You will notice they totally nailed the cigarette in my left hand and novelty sized ice cream cone in my right.

When I stood up to applaud their work, Chloe asked me to stay very still.

She said, “Mommy, don’t move, I’m just finishing your mustache.”

Good confidence builder everyone.
