One of my all time favorite sets of funny kids drawings is this one called “I am Better Than Your Kids“. I have been to that site… um… at least 20 million times over the years.

As Phil’s muhmuh now, that site seems a tiny bit harsh, because every single thing this kid does is adorable and of course perfect.

I’m a professional artist, one that’s a huge fan of cute drawings, and I feel like Phil hit a total major milestone last weekend.

This little boy grabbed a crayon and tried to draw something specific instead of just random scribbling.

He totally drew his mom.

He had this paper in front of him, and was aimlessly scribbling at the bottom of the page.

Then, he stopped and moved up to the top of the page. He did the couple of scribbles at the very top, and a big oval. And he pointed at me.

“Is that muhmuh?” I asked.

“YEAH.” He said. Very emphatically, like he does when you get what he’s saying. Then he looked at his paper, and shook his head. Scribbled a tiny bit more at the bottom of the page.

“Oh, the moment’s passed,” I thought. “I’m doing some serious projecting here. I really want that to be me.”

Then he came back up to the big oval, and ADDED FACIAL FEATURES. And pointed at me again.

There’s been some mind-blowing moments watching this little boy grow up. Watching Phil draw me for the first time… It ranks super high on the list as one of the best so far.

But I still can’t deny that hairy fire truck is hilarious.
