My favorite Calvin and Hobbes comic from when I was a kid:
Calvin: Remember when I was first born? I couldn’t even turn myself over! My eyes wouldn’t focus! I couldn’t do anything! Think of all the work it took to develop the motor skills necessary to hold a crayon, top place the tip of it on a page, and to move it in predetermined, coordinated motions! This picture is the result of six years’ unrelenting toil! A lifetime of effort went into this!
Dad: I’m still not paying you $500 for it.
Calvin: It will appreciate! It’s an investment!
I have art folders full of these precious treasures. The big brown art folders is a simple way to store and keep treasures safe!
Wow, Charlotte! Look at the skill!

Oh! I can’t wait until the “circs” (circles) and lines my littles draws morph into actual people! Charlotte is a brilliant artist, and I do believe you got the better end of the deal, but shhhh, she doesn’t know!
