Okay, I admit it, I am not an artistic person. The extent of my drawing ability is pretty much stick figures with clothes, and sometimes the odd truck now as they are Wrigglebot’s love. Now that I have covered that I have no artistic ability I still thought, perhaps wrongly, that I would be able to impress Wrigglebot for a while longer.

Over the past few days we have been playing with playdough and he loves asking me to make a car, ‘Mama, Mama car pease’ he says, and how can I resist that? And so I fashion a car of sorts, a block with round wheels and he plays with it for about ten minutes, which I think is quite good. Well that was all fine until Daddy was asked to make a car and he ended up making a car that was so good he called me over to admire it and I said, ‘Husband, I am very proud of you, what a clever boy you are.’ So the next time I was playing with Wrigglebot and he asked me for a car, I did my best, I tried really hard and gave it to him and he just squished in his fist and then repeated ‘car pease’.  I felt like a failure, I felt like I had been exposed as a fraud but then I had a stroke of inspiration and added a siren, it made everything good and I was once again his hero.

I am getting worried though, I just don’t know how long my artistic ability can hold up for, the gap between his and mine is rapidly narrowing and I fear it wont be long before he realises that people are more than just sticks and then I will be drawing hero no longer.
