Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for September 18, 2014
Transcript:
Mom: "I'm home" Dad: "How was your meeting with Calvin's teacher?" Mom: "Well, when we got to the classroom, we saw that all the kids had drawn self-portraits in art class, and had left the pictures on their desks so the parents would recognize their child's seat" Dad: "That's a cute idea. Did you find Calvin's picture?" Mom: "There was one drawing of a green kid with fangs. Six eyes, and his finger up his nose" Dad: "Uh oh" Mom: "The meeting went downhill from there"
If I were Calvin’s mom, I would think his self portrait is hilarious and I would defend his creativity to Miss Wormwood. Of course if I were Calvin’s mom, I would also be on top of his homework and make sure he understands what he is supposed to do, sitting with him if necessary in order to complete it. I wouldn’t just leave it all up to him.
