Lynn's Comments: Here I drew a young man I had seen on the street. His hair was multicoloured and standing like a fan—straight up and rigid. I figured that you don't go out in public like this unless you want attention, so I asked him how he had done his hair. His answer was, "wood glue and bingo dabbers." What fun!

Lynn's Comments: This also happened. My son decided to see how far a spool of dental floss would go. He strung the stairwell and the hallway and even the kitchen before he ran out of floss. I would have been angry, but it’s hard to give serious discipline when you’re laughing!

Lynn's Comments: When my brother and I were kids, our cousins came to stay for a few weeks. Rob and Josie shared our rooms, and within a few days we were at each other’s throats. Our cousins had gone through all of our stuff and we felt violated. From the cousins’ point of view, they were just looking around. We saw it differently!
