Me: “I need some ideas for Wordless/Wordful Wednesday for tomorrow, and looking through some old posts, I think I have a great idea.”
PN: “What is it?”
Me: “Well, I found where I posted about your 100th day of school in Kindergarten, and how you drew a funny picture of yourself of what you think you’d look like when you turn 100 years old. How about if you draw a sketch of what your perception is now, four years later? I think it’d be hilarious to do a comparison, don’t you?”
PN: “Do I have to draw something?”
Me: “Well, no, but it would sure help me out. How about for a dollar? Would you draw it for a dollar?”
PN (with a total look of disdain): “A dollar? Only a dollar?” (scoffs) “How about ten dollars?”
Me: “Nice try, but I will up it to five dollars. That’s my final offer. Will you do it? You can take creative license – draw whatever you want, you can even make yourself a dragon if that will inspire you to do it. Five bucks.”
PN: “Really? A dragon? Well, OK, maybe I will. Sure, that sounds good, I can say that when I was 17 I stole some treasure and was turned into a dragon.”
Me (trying not to laugh): “See? Now you’re putting a great and interesting spin on it – get busy.”
Here’s her Kindergarten picture from four years ago of what she envisioned herself to look like when she turned 100:
Yes, I did have to get clarification on what appeared to be three rows of boobs – those are actually wrinkles on her neck. Ahem.
Here’s her interpretation four years later of what she’d look like at 100 years old (you know, after she steals some treasure at 17 and is turned into a dragon):
Doesn’t she make an intimidating 100 year old dragon? Worth 5-dollars, don’t you think?

That’s sweet! Certainly keepers.
She didn’t do bad on her dragon drawing. I can barely draw a stick figure so I’m quite impressed with the dragon.
That’s awesome!
She’s very talented!
Totally worth $5! She’s a very talented artist!
Too cute! Happy wordless Wednesday. xo
Happy WW. Thank you for hosting.

Have a great day.

You may want to tell her as a 100 year old dragon, she may have trouble with the men and she may snack on her friends. lol
She definitely has great artistic skills for someone so young. If she keeps this up, then I’m quite certain you won’t be able to commission her next job for only five bucks. =D
Thanks for hosting WW!
Definitely worth $5. Interestingly, my WW is about… treasure.
Happy WW!

Fab post! I too wondered about the ‘boobs’. I thought that maybe they were scales and even all those years ago she thought she would turn into a dragon! :o) x
I busted out laughing at the wrinkly pic, but am in awe of the dragon. The girl has talent.
She has come a long way. Nice looking dragon.
That’s a really great dragon. Definitely work the $5. Happy WW!

She’s got talent, that dragon looks great!
Two words…simply awesome!!!
Amazing drawing! She rocks…AND…your cakes are going to get harder by the year my friend!
I must say her artistic talents has really grown considerably! She’s quite good actually for a child of her age. I think that was a Five Dollar bill well spent!
You’d probably get $6 on Ebay! Thanks so much for your lovely comment on my WW this week.
So worth the money but I lost it with the three rows of boobs!!!! lol – Are you sure they aren’t scales???
Wow, she’s a great artist! What a fun conversation. Mine would have asked for 20 bucks, so I think you got off nicely!
That’s some quick evolution. 🙂
Three rows of boobs!? Ha ha ha Love the dragon! Come link up with me and thanks for hosting.

LOVE the pics! Too cute!
Wow. I love those pictures! What a fun comparison and that is an awesome dragon xoxo
She really is talented Stacy 🙂
What a cute dragon. And love her idea of “wrinkles”. LOL.

She truly is such an amazing artist! And incredible how much her drawings have changed in just a few years, shows how quickly kids grow and change at this age; especially when they turn into a dragon 😉
Holy cow that is awesome! I want to be a 100 year old dragon.
What happens if you steal treasure when you’re 30? Oh, wait, I think it’s called embezzlement then…
That’s REALLY impressive for someone so young — I couldn’t draw anything near that well! Love the story too 🙂
Thanks for linking up with Good Girl Gone Wife!
Hi
Looks like you have a budding artist there. I love kids drawings I can remember when drawing when a kid and you totally emerge yourself in what you are doing and go where the picture is you are drawing in your head. Fond memories.
Thanks. Lee
It even worth more. She worked hard for it anyway.
