Nice one!

Earl could cover up the black lines that Nelson uses as the outline of the picture.

Having something to do is nice when you’re retired, and not always easy to arrange.

He could always draw a polar bear in a snowstorm.

Sounds like Nelson learned from adults “busy work”!

Draw a snowstorm.

Ouch!

Wow…really, Nelson?

Kids are hilarious.

See if you can mess that up, gramps.

Busy work.

\\//_

My white crayons were never really white: they always had specs of other colors stuck to them. Damn those white crayons.

Is Nelson’s behavior what is called passive aggressive?

I think he wants to be left alone Grampa……

It’s clouds illusions he recalls. He really doesn’t know clouds at all.

Aaaaakkkk

Grasshopper has learned well from Master.

Reminds me of when I was teaching my step-grandchildren to draw. One of them was very good but her mother never encouraged her. I’m not saying one should give a child unrealistic expectations about becoming a great artist. However, drawing is a useful skill and also very good as “something to do” in the many waiting periods one encounters in life.

Idle hands are the devil’s workshop.

Keep Earl busy.

This is hilarious on, like, 3 different levels.

Good point Nelson.

White Crayon does not leave a mess around your mouth… Wise Kid. Don’t want Grandpa to get in trouble chewing.

I didn’t know they still made coloring books and crayons.
