When she was little, she always colored inside the lines. Now, she was an adult and a mother who had a little daughter who also colored inside the lines.
Sara sat at her desk smiling at the piece of paper pinned to her office wall. It was a drawing of a mama cat with her kitten done in crayola markers, her daughter’s main choice of art media. The cat was outlined with black marker and colored grey on the inside. No grey lines escaped the black lines.
“Cute drawing, did your kid draw it?”
Sara looked up at one of her nurses who had just entered her office to turn in some patients’ paperwork. She smiled and nodded a “Yes.”
“How old is she?”
“She’ll be turning six in a couple of months.”
“Wow, she’s only five and she draws like that? She’ll become quite the little artist.”
“Thanks,” Sara said as she took the files from the nurse and stuck them into her bag.
“You headin’ out?”
“Yeah. I really should get home and check on Michael. He has a cold and Evelyn can be quite a handful to look after.” Sara stood up and slung the strap of her brown bag over her shoulder. She waved goodbye to the nurse and left.
When Sara got home she was bombarded with the bright smile of her five year old daughter.
“Mommy! Mommy! Mommy!” She exclaimed, jumping up and down in excitement. “I did an art project today!”
Sara smiled down at her daughter. “That’s nice sweetie. Where is it?”
With the biggest grin on her face, little Evelyn replied back, “On Daddy!”
Sara blinked. “What?”
Sara could barely stifle the giggles threatening to escape her mouth as she looked upon the sight before her. There on their bed, was Michael without his shirt on sleeping on his stomach, and his entire back was filled with a rainbow of colors. Evelyn had colored in all of her father’s tattoos that she could reach with crayola marker.
Sara quietly whispered to her daughter, “Sweetie, how did you do all this without Daddy waking up?”
“He fell asleep and I was bored so I started coloring his back and he just didn’t wake up.”
Sara shook her head in amusement. “Did your father drink his medicine today?”
Evelyn nodded her head.
“Did he drink from the red bottle or the green bottle?”
“Um, the green bottle.”
Sara once again had to muffle her laughter. Michael had drunken Nyquil instead of Dayquil. That’s why he was passed out on their bed. Sara shook her smiling head. Evelyn was the only one capable of causing someone as careful as Michael to make such a mistake.
“Sweetie, can you go get the camera for me?” Sara asked in a sing song voice. “I want to keep a memento of your little art project.”
“Okay!” Evelyn bounced out of the room to retrieve the digital camera.
Sara watched her leave and then turned back to look at her husband. Just like the kitty drawing, all the coloring was done inside the lines. She smiled. Evelyn was just like her back when she was a kid. She always colored inside the lines.
When Evelyn came back with the camera, Sara was sure to get multiple pictures of Michael’s coloring book of a back. She also zoomed in to take a picture of the happy face that Evelyn had drawn on his left temple, using his mole as one of the eyes.
Yes this was quite the art project, and Sara was quite proud of her daughter.
