Today, I had to take Iz to see the obligatory school vacation movie. I wish it had been “It’s Complicated” or “Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief,” but it had to be “The Tooth Fairy.”
I was hoping to sway her to the artistic side this morning when I asked, “Do you want to do art again? She said, “Okay!” And, we had fun even though our creative differences reared their ugly heads as she asked, “Why does George’s face have to be on Ken? And, why can’t Barbie be in the picture?”
At 1:30pm, we left for the movie. It had started snowing, and I asked, “Maybe we shouldn’t go today?” To which, Iz gave me the “We are going to see the Tooth Fairy Whether You Like it or Not” look.
When we were not even halfway through the movie, Iz leaned over to me. She said, “Mom, want to do art when we get home?” I said, “Sure!”

"The Reader" is the only one of the paintings I've actually seen, as far as I can recall.
