Cartoon of a mom rushing to the aid of a baby in a basket. A boy says, “But if they did it to Moses, why can’t I float him down the river?”
Don’t try this at home, kids! I drew this for the May, 2012 edition of the Church of God Newsletter.
Cartoon of two boys. One says, “What do you get a mom who has everything, including eyes in the back of her head?”
What do you get Mom for Mother’s Day? Lots of love and a sincere thanks is a good start. I better start practicing!
Cartoon of a girl scolding a kitten. She says, “Come down from there! Are you trying to get yourself killed?”
Heights and obstacles are a matter of perspective, aren’t they? Whenever a child is convinced an obstacle is just too much for them, I need to remember it really does look as big to them as they imagine it. Part of the challenge is to convince a student they can overcome an obstacle without belittling or minimizing their fear.
How do you get a child to overcome an an obstacle in a respectful, encouraging way? I’d love to hear your thoughts.
I drew this for Illustration Friday. This week’s word is “heights.”
Cartoon of two students. A boy says, “Should we abandon all hope, or keep plugging through fourth grade?”
Sometimes, it just feels like hope is a distant goal to grasp, doesn’t it? I remember hoping and praying that school would be over soon. Thirty years later, I can tell you there’s hope. Hold on. You’re break will be here before you know it.
Cartoon of a boy in a magician’s costume and a duck. The boy says, “I’m sorry, Sis! I didn’t mean to change you into a duck. I meant to turn you into a dog!”
Siblings really do love each other. It’s just that there are so many possibilities when you have a magic wand and hat. It makes me wonder what I would do today if anything was possible. I want to make it clear to my siblings that I’d keep them just the way they are. They’ve turned into very nice adults, thank you. Besides, I don’t have a duck pond.
