Just wait until he’s old enough to play Boggle
Today the light bulb went off. Instead of letting my son grind chalky streaks into the hardwood floor and along his dome, maybe I might take him outside and let him go chalk-wild on the sidewalk. I think that’s maybe why it’s called sidewalk chalk?
Once outside, I was hoping that Chooch would sit quietly in the grass and watch in awe as I created colorful masterpieces upon the cement. Instead, he stole his own pieces and scrawled angry lines through my fantastic doodles. And I had a REALLY AWESOME robot out there, too. I even took the time to SHADE that bitch.
Chooch is napping now and the competitve side of me wants to go back out and draw a bigger, badder robot. A robot with a gaping maw that’s engulfing all of Chooch’s gay drawings. But I have to let Chooch win sometimes, right?
Parenting is hard.

Leave it to you to make a picture of sidewalk chalk look like art.
Chooch was like, “Hello, I’m trying to PLAY.”
Lol.
sit quietly in the grass?
chooch isn’t just a part of the action. a lot of times he IS the action.
I bet that robot is awesome!
He kept taking his pants off!
I’m sure it was a great robot you drew. Ah competition =)
Glad you both are enjoying the chalk!
hopefully i’m not inclined to slap him during rousing games of Scattergories, lol.
