Daddy Needs Close Supervision

Snake drawing is very serious business. My son knows I am not very good at drawing snakes, but he insists that I draw him one every day. One snake is not too much to ask. To help me along, my son laid open a book with a picture of a copperhead. Then he hung over my shoulder, gently saying, "Now look at the picture," every time I paused to think about what I was doing. Then, when I finished he congratulated me on a great snake. It was very sweet, though it made it a little difficult to concentrate on the picture as he kept trying to help me by reminding me to look at the picture. I jokingly told him, "You're micromanaging me." Now that I've had time to think about it, he reminded me of me, minus the sweetness part. That was all him.
