Craig was always painting pictures for his mother.
“I know what it is,” said his mother, “but I want you to describe it to me.”
“That’s a boat in the sea, and that’s a fish, and there’s Daddy in the boat and the sun there.”
“That’s beautiful!” said Craig’s mother, and put it on the fridge door with a magnet.
“Here’s a giraffe,” said Craig, “with a lion and a tiger, helping a beaver to build a dam.”
“That’s beautiful!” said Craig’s mother, and put it on the fridge door with a magnet.
“And this is you, Mummy, cooking dinner in the kitchen and that’s the chicken. Isn’t it funny? It looks like a duck!”
“That’s very funny!” said Craig’s mother. “Thank you!” And put it on the fridge door with a magnet.
“Mummy,” said Craig one day, “why do you hang all my pictures upside down?”
