The other night, my family and I were sitting at the dinner table (having dinner - of course) and my daughter yells out "I did it mommy!!! Lookit what I made!!" and there on her plate was a tower of mashed potatos that kind of resembled the Eiffel Tower. She said "I'm creative huh mommy?" and of course I agreed with her, she really is creative and artistic. In her hands - mashed potatos became the Eiffel Tower, and it was a masterpiece - I assure you. Now to the point (at last lol) What right do I have to tell her otherwise. The fact that she did not grow the potato, peel it,cook it,and mash it does not mean that her work was any less real and spectacular. To her it was art. Does it really matter what others think if you are happy doing whatever it is that you do? - Now, go play in your mashed potatos! lol love, Jane
