Vindicated

Diamondback rattlesnakes need diamonds, and since were are now unwilling to draw more than one rattlesnake per day, we needed to teach our son how to draw diamonds. My wife and I had very different approaches. I showed him it was like drawing a square that got tipped over. My wife showed him it was like drawing two Vs facing each other. She also showed him how to connect the dots. At first he had better luck using the Vs approach and the connect-the-dots, and my wife and I chuckled because she is always the one with more practical solutions. Then he got frustrated. So he drew a square, tilted the paper, and said, "Look, a diamond." Yes! (My wife claims my way is cheating).
