That Explains It

Reese's school year is coming to an end. Last week she had her last art class of the year and got to bring home lots of finished projects. One of them was a picture she made on the very first day of school.

She pulled it out and showed it to me. I saw a tree and a little girl with yellow hair.

"Awwww...there's little Reesie", I said.

She looked at it again and said, "No, that's not me. The art teacher just said draw a person, a house, and tree".

Seeing no house in the picture I said in a playful accusing tone, "Ohhhhhh....you didn't follow directions".

To which she explained exasperatingly, "Moooooommmm...I was only 5!".
