And They Say There's No Difference Between the Sexes

Two kids painting on a Sunday morning:

Let's use this brother-sister example to examine some differences between boys and girls, shall we?

Girl's paint palette:

Boy's paint palette:

Girl painting: clean lines, use of color to accurately portray real-life objects, no paint anywhere besides on the paper and the tip of the brush.

Boy painting: one big fat mess that gets all over the paper, the table, the chair, and the person. Luckily Mommy remembered to strip him down first so no clothing got ruined this time.
This always ends up happening when this kid paints. Every time.

I think that Andrew and Caleb come from the same art movement.

So true....

With my family, it's just as likely that David would have the perfectly organized paint, while Lydia would be all over the place, including the table, floor, glass doors...It's fun to see your sweet family!

That is a good one... I think Olivia will probably always be that way

We've given up entirely on the painting thing-- well, except for Shawn that is. Come to think of it, he too ruined a few good shirts painting that pic of the temple. Yep, he's a boy! I miss you Cynthia! When are you coming to visit us??? We'd sure LOVE to see you!
