Carl's Left Hand

Big fish: "Please to eat you."
Small fish: "Don't you mean, meet?"

Carl is left handed. He loves to draw little figures all over his notebooks. There are dragons breathing fire, soldiers with guns, knights with knives and swords, Indians and cowboys, ants fighting, with some of their battles depicting victory and loss. It's like telling a story through his miniature drawings. Makes me wonder if he listens to his teachers.

Here are some drawings I found at the back of his grade 4 notebooks. He was 9 years old then.

"Hold still, so I can hit you!" Frog: "I'm not hungry


















Maybe Carl wouldn't appreciate seeing these drawings here right now. But ten years from now, he would see this and remember his old hobby.

Wouldn't you want to see your first drawings again, if given the chance?
