It breaks my heart but it is his creativity and I am divided in my feelings. Spending 6 hours in front of a computer when you are 10, I understand his need to do something with his hands.

Like the cave people painting the pray they wanted to capture, he makes something that would give him power. My daughter has unicorns. She has the lyrics to her song.

We have a court of quick wits not brute strength. This painting is the battle of the sexes.
