My daughter has water-soluble sidewalk chalk and free reign of the backyard.

Here’s the thing though: As adults, we rarely have to go outside our comfort zone. I don’t draw much. Most of my adult life, the drawings I’ve done are geometric figures.

So I’ve been mixing thingsB PickleB wants me to draw with theB things I can draw well. She asks for something, and I add to it.

My kid is gonna blow the socks off her mathB teacher.
