Critical Analysis of Drawings on Tile: Part IV of a Series

While we are studying for the USMLE and learning about child psychiatry, we don't want to leave our dear blog readers without art to critically analyze. Here is part IV of the series:
Farrah: The degree of jaundice here implies pancreatic cancer. Very hard to cure. This child is very ambitious, very ambitious indeed. Also that shot looks like a pen.

Mariam: You totally couldn't cure cancer with a simple "shot" to the hand. You'd need central line access shit to "cure" cancer AT THE VERY LEAST.

--by Farrah and Mariam, one of us saw Julie and Julia, and it reminded her of us, in our infinite narcissism

Today I played Lincoln Logs with a 5 y/o with ODD/ADHD and OMG he had no idea how to build a symmetrical log house. I was like look kid, let me reassamble everything for you SO WE CAN HAVE PROPORTIONS. Ah, kids.

Sometimes Kiera will be coloring and I will take all her crayons so I can put them back in the box in color-coded order. It makes me happy but then I just have to walk away because I think it makes her equally happy to immediately dump out said crayons. Ah, kids.

Kids are so against putting things together in a logical and organized manner. I'm kinda like that too. I once insisted that I preferred the picture I hung up on the wall to be crooked. Ah, kids.

Farrah, you're in Tucson? Are you melting over there? Maybe September will cool down a degree or two for you. Have a great time!

I am melting in Tucson, I've never been so warm in my life!
