running with (kid) scissors
reports on the brave, bold and always beautiful Bush girls

Here’s a drawing from Maddie’s class, where they were asked, “Where would you run if you were the Gingerbread Man?” Her answer - China. Now, for her artist’s statement:
“So, the two doors together in the middle are the hotel doors where you and Daddy stayed. One is for my China, and the other for Sophie’s China. We’re on the side playing with those spinny things that go above cribs. And all the little squares are windows (like you’d see on the outside of a hotel).”
Whoa. Bet that’s a deeper story than usual for kindergaten. When Maddie first explained that it was China, I asked if the people were the nannies juggling lots of babies, but she corrected me.
Someone please tell me why the crib mobiles are made out of heads!?
