Adam loves Keira’s etch-a-sketch more than she does. Last night he doodled this:

Me: Oh, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! Which one is this?
Adam: Uh… (thinks)…I can’t remember.
Me: It’s Raphael.
Adam: No, I don’t think so…
Us simultaneously: Well, it can’t be Michelangelo, because he had nunchuks and he is everybody’s favourite, so that one’s easy.
Adam: I think it was Leonardo.
Me: But he had a sword!
Adam: No, he had two swords!
Me: No he didn’t.
(Five minutes later; after perusing Wikipedia)
Me: OK, he had two. But this picture doesn’t show the bottom of the weapon. It could be either of them.
(We later agreed that it was more likely to be the dignified blue leader rather than Mr. smarmy red.)
Ah, TMNT. An oldie, but a goodie. We taped the movie off the TV and watched it endlessly when we were kids. I think part of the attraction for me was the hope of one day seeing Krang (The brain thing) getting squashed royally under someone’s (preferably Michelangelo’s) foot.
What cartoons do you still think about? Or make doodles of for that matter?
