originality
If I give Germaine a piece of paper and crayons, I can pretty safely guarantee she will draw a princess. if not a princess, then a fairy, which is basically the same but with wings and a shorter dress.
if I give the same to Linus, well, I don't think I've ever seen two identical pieces of art from him. not only that, but he doesn't draw pictures, he draws stories. stories full of little details and if there's a blank spot on the page, it's only because he hasn't filled it in with another little detail yet. I really can't wait until he starts writing.
I think I was more like Germaine as a kid. but it was houses, not princesses.
