My daughter asked my mother how in the world she ever raised 8 kids.
My mom said she doesn’t know.
In fairness,
She was probably so busy in the raising of us she didn’t have time to think about how to do it.
Mom went on to tell her
We were so stupid we would draw on the walls
And sign our names to it.
So in fairness to us,
We made it easier for her.
However,
I believe there were some signed pieces of art
That were fraudulently signed
To get someone else in trouble.
I love it 😂😂😂

Hahaha, oh Colleen! This was so cute to read, but also hilarious! My mum raised five of us and we drove her nuts, you must have been good kids 😉 Also I distinctly remember very vividly getting a good telling off for my name signed on expensive wallpaper in what I was adamant was my brother’s sloppy handwriting. I think I was more mad that my mother would assume my own handwriting would be so awful! 😛

I don’t know how good we were…..I’m sure time has warped some memories. But I don’t think we were ‘bad’. But there were a lot of us!!!

Awww well Colleen if she thinks that, then you must have been so to her 🙂 My mother always tells us how we drive her nuts, poor thing, and well, nothing beats a mother’s love for her children. You all must have brought her great joy. 🙂

It sure is hard to not get in trouble these days. Between cameras, and social media, it’s almost like every action is surveillance. Just grateful I get to be a parent for it!

Your such a great artists, I wouldn’t be surprised if some siblings signed their names to your art to get credit, rather than the other way around.

I think the first stories I ever told were those in which I lied though my teeth about what my younger brother had done. There were six of us so my mum had to contend with trying to wade through lies on a very regular basis. She was better than a polygraph!
