Hallmark, don't steal this idea

This evening, after work. Iris and I are sitting in the window seat in Tuscany Café, passing the time with beverages and crayons, waiting for J to get out of a meeting so we can all go to dinner.

"I will draw a nice picture for Daddy. [pause] I'm thinking what I can do. [pause] I'll draw an eel!"

P.S. You can draw an eel, too! Here's how: 1. Apply crayon to paper. 2. Draw crayon across paper in more or less straight line, trailing off toward the end. 3. Voila! An eel! 4. Variation: Draw crooked spirals as if illustrating tangled yarn. This is a "kiki eel."
