Young Moneysavers

My 6 year old son came home and proudly showed me a picture of our dog that he'd drawn at school today. I admired it and told him it was really good.

He then looked at me and said "do you really like it?"
and I said "yes, it's one of the best drawings I've seen"
Then he paused and very seriously said "I'll sell it to you for 10p" :rotfl:
Here I go again on my own....

    I used to frame my childrens drawings and collages at that age. I still have some on display at ten years on. The art now starts to look quite abstract and it nice to see it about still.
