The kids in my daughter's preschool were asked to describe their current feelings and why they felt that way. I enjoyed their answers, so I took photos and uploaded them to Flickr. Link

    I often feel like a pirate too. I need more of this stuff, my girlfriend and I laughed endlessly and want kids now. Or, later.
    Mark, you seem like a great dad.

    Threepointone, these were drawn by preschoolers, so they can’t have lettered the captions themselves. Their teacher must have asked them what the pictures were about, and lettered the captions for them.

    anyone else notice all but one of the drawings are emoticons? Sign of the times we live in?

    Wow, I hope someone followed up with Ava.

    I can attest to the oppressive melancholy that arises from having pretend blood on your arm. It is just no good at all. No good.

  • Peter Swimm

    Dunno, id feel weird if someone posted my kids pics on the web.. :)

  • Mark Frauenfelder

    Peter, please draw a picture that expresses your feelings and email it to me so I can post it.

  • threepointone

    Anyone else notice that the handwriting is the same on all of the pics? Same felt pen too, etc.

    Funny though :)

    I wish the 99 cent store made me that happy. :(
