Hurrying up to go to work, I move from room to room and back again trying to ensure everything is in place. King Earl walks up to me:
KE: Mum!!! Please can I use your green pen?
Me: No, sweetie. I need to go to work with it.
KE: (protesting) but I need to use it, I want to write something from my heart!
Me: (shocked, but I did the adult face) you can use a pencil or a black pen to write it.
KE: Yes…but I need the green pen because I want to write something from my heart (he insisted)
I’m not given to joking with ‘heart matters’, so I hand over the green pen and continue with my concerns. Time to leave and I ask for my pen.
KE: I’m not through, Mum
Me: I need my pen, baby.
KE hands over the pen with a very sad face 😦 and I put it in my pocket. Picking up the ‘thing from my heart’, I realised it was a really beautiful drawing he had started. “Wow! It’s beautiful baby. I love it!” His face lights up at my words. “Please, draw it well ok. Mummy loves the picture”.
We are not done with the heart matter, but here is what he has done so far. What do you think?

That’s beautiful! Biko, get Oba green pens o, add glitter join.
Did you get Earl to explain the characters? Wondered why the dragon is blowing flames on the goat?

He didn’t explain this one, cos by the time I found his drawing book, he had made so many paintings and he’s on vacation.
Meanwhile when he was around, he ‘claimed’ he couldn’t find the book! LOL. You’ll have to wait for him to get that one.

Looking forward to reading a future posts about what he’s writing from the heart. What an imagination the young children have.

I’m looking forward to it too but he’s on vacation now. I guess, I’ll wait till he’s back. Good to read from you always.
