I hereby present the super-cool award to you, April, and your son. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

Yea, where is he? I haven't seen the evil eyes peering through my windows at night, lately. I rather liked being watched. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

Me, too. And now I can't get that damn song out of my head. That's not exactly a choice one to be singing aloud. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

That's generally how I feel all the time. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

Wait, so are you saying I'm right or wrong? I see the scissors picture and read all the other links in children's art & such. I don't get it. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

Ooooowa. Oooooowa. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

That's MY clause, mister! And it shall not be held against me. You'll just have to think of something else to hold against me. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

I think it sounds fabulous! If I had a sewing kit like that I might actually sew more than a button here & there. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

Let the record show, I was already victorious and doing the cabbage patch before my associate council got a clue. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

I might agree if this were an adult's interpretation. Young children, however, are often ambidextrous and color/write with one hand until it gets tired, then with the other--or even just go back and forth as they choose. It is possible Exhibits A & B were written by the same child, but a different hand. Therefore it can not conclusively be determined this drawing is a fraud.

I'd like to counter the prosecution with the following defense: I disagree about the handwriting--one's artistic impression and one's writing can and often do differ. Not to mention children are often trying to copy letters exactly when they're learning to write--just as they try to copy an object to draw. If the object's circle was shaped differently than the "o" written in scissors, the child would have copied both as they were presented, not as he/she naturally might. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

Technically that trend is out, but many seem to have missed the memo. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

Exactly!

I completely understand--my emphasis should not have been on "home" or "privately" but rather discreetly as a couple others have mentioned.

I should clarify I've never actually rolled my eyes at someone--that would be rude. It's far more polite to do so behind their back. More seriously, what I meant by not being discreet has already been addressed here (why not bring a small blanket?). I have no issues with breast-feeding in public. In fact I'll stand up for a woman's right to do so. But it doesn't mean I'm stoked to see the woman who will sit in the middle of the room in everyone's view (rather than off to the side) wearing a tiny tank top and practically has both breasts exposed--not just the one the baby is feeding from. Add shouting to her husband across the room to that and you have someone drawing a LOT of attention to themselves. On one hand, I suppose I admire they really just don't give a damn. On the other, if they don't give a damn, then who should give a shmack if I turn toward Billy and roll my eyes and we share a laugh? (Besides those that seem to care about everything I do & say. I'm flattered, Squeak.) Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

I ROCK at carefully guiding the cup. Beer pong here I come. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

I agree in full, with this. I don't have an issue. But, I'll admit I've rolled my eyes at those definitely NOT being discrete. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

I voted yes, but... Can one REALLY not arrange for that at home (or someplace else privately)??? Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

Awesome. I have never heard of beer pong, but now I have an excellent excuse to break out our ping pong table. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

That's gotta be what Sangiro is laughing at. SO funny!!! Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

What he said. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

Exactly. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

that makes me want to jump around and dance silly like the nine-year old I was when it came out? We Didn't Start the Fire! Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

No idea & none of the above. I can remember the last time I pinky-swore though. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

Nice girls don't tell. Oh, who am I kidding? I said drinks. That's more of an icing to a cake, really. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.
