How my children see me meme

October 17, 2012 by

Dear Sian and Tara,

One day I will introduce my children to you and they will describe to you in graphic detail how glad they were to be torn away from the geography to do these drawings. All I can tell you was I never knew how much they liked geography.

This is how my girls see me, except Fran who refused to do one and will regret that very much when I'm old and annoying and she's reading back the blog aged 50 to remember how she used to like me 😉

Mummy, by Josie, aged 7.

Mummy by Maddy, aged 12.

Mummy by Amelie, aged 10.

In a nutshell, I think we are saying that 2 of my children know I'm going grey and are trying to find a polite way of telling me, 2 didn't know how to draw my freaky feet without offending me (but one drew them in perfect detail 😉 ) so made me footless (better than legless) and they all know I'm busty, crazy, square eyed and a little mad looking.

They know me so well. And actually, I could live with being any of these women.

I'm tagging (links to follow when not on iPad)

Domestique Goddess

Northern Mum (who won't do it)

    I love the heavy bosom-shading and accurate toes in Amelie’s! But why the square eyes? Is it just all the manga stuff they draw? Because you do have normal eyes 😉

      Yes, I think the manga force is strong with these ones 😉
